Now is the time for the working people who are raising families, who are the drivers of the so-called capitalist system that, in turn, turns workers into slaves.
It is time for healthcare with no out of pocket expenses, child care, sick days, living wages and a four-day for week. If you think this is asking a lot, take a look at other countries. Belgium, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, and UK all have or testing having these benefits. If we’re so great, why are we so far behind?
Greed.
The very rich corporatists call those of us who advocate for these benefits “socialists” or “dreamers” and those workers with no self-awareness or interest to look beyond the term, chime in with the name calling and go further by associating it with “communists.”
Instead of running from the word “Socialist,” we should not care about childish name calling and embrace it proudly, instead. It’s time we got half of the pie instead of the crumbs.
As Carl Jung wrote, There is no coming to consciousness without pain.”
We all need to be represented by unions even the retired. All voters should be represented by a union. Physicians and lawyers and the like have “associations,” which is a fancy word for union.
The Biden Administration is making progress, but he needs help. We have elected officials who can lead this fight, we just need them to reject corporate money and fight for the people. Embrace the fact that the filthy rich would have nothing without the workers, also because as the 99 percent we make the most purchases.
There’s a reason Nordic countries are considered the happiest. They treat their workers the best and with respect.
The U.S. workers working situation will never change until we make them. Before greed took over, the U.S. workers could have one spouse work, afford to buy a home and a nice car and provide for their families. Look at our homeless population today and tell me our system isn’t out of whack.
The AFL is with Senator Bernie Sanders and it is the people’s only chance to push back against Elon Musk, who wants to dismantle our government. Musk family is said to have left South Africa because they could no longer exploit The native/black Africans so he bought Trump and now he’s laying waste to America in the name of progress. With Senator Sanders’ leadership and backing of all labor unions, we could put together the whole of 99 percent of the people and beat back the 2 percent destroying we what once had and stood for while also saving Social Security, healthcare for all, elder care, child care, while working on the climate change crisis (we are running out of time, as the weather is showing us). The workers need to go big, such as a four-day work week like other countries have; universal basic income (UBI) and Medicare for all for unhoused people, which would help get them off the streets. UBI goes right back into the local economies, which supports jobs for the other working p...
