It’s Labor Day in the States and I’ve got just the song.
Workers Unite. Join a Union.
This is “Wednesdays” from my second album, “Slips, Trips, & Falls.”

"The Canadian and Jamaican governments are investigating allegations that an #Ontario farm sent a group of Jamaican migrant workers home after they held a one-day #strike to protest what they described as substandard living conditions."

made this last night, a system that places people into a daily grind without any hope of freedom to follow passion and improve the lives of those around us is slavey.
It’s why I joined the IWW and it’s why we need to rethink how a good society can focus on need, rather than constant growth for the very rich.
Workers make everything, yet they have no power to control production. Workers of the world unite!

For reasons*, I can't delete all of my #AMPTP #streaming accounts, but I've closed and deleted what I can, and have deleted the #apps from my #tv and #phone (none on my laptop) for the others.
I understand the #unions #striking haven't asked for any such actions, but I do know every #streamer will notice both account and #app deletions.
It's not much, but it is something.

I "#QuietQuitted" (and got fired) in 2021 after massive layoffs, and the inevitable increased workload and set of responsibilities that followed gave the business (#HedgeFund) a profit (lower than 2020 projections) of 18%.
2020 profits of 18%. In 2020.
I met or exceeded all of my 2020 goals, initial and changed, and received a 3% raise. Meaning zero, with #inflation.

Nothing about this is a surprise to a long-term unemployed person. Like me. This is the system. By maintaining a pool of desperation, employers, corporations, and businesses are able to drive workers to accept lower wages. There are, of course, some protections against driving wages beyond liveability, but as we've seen, those protections are eroded over time or worked around by stimagtising unemployment and eroding social safety nets.

Memorial Day Massacre: Workers Die, Film Buried (Preview)
The first film to fully explore the 1937 tragedy in Chicago, when police shot and killed ten pro-labor marchers--and the shocking film cover-up that followed.
This haunting episode transformed union organizing in the U.S. while revealing the dangers of official secrets and media suppression, with profound lessons for Americans today.
Directed by Greg Mitchell and Produced by Lyn Goldfarb.

@TomWellborn don't give credence to their BS. There's no "labor shortage" to address. There's a #fairpay shortage.
The owners are addicted to high profits and can't bear the thought of doing what we're told is supposed to happen in a market economy: when demand for labor goes up, the price paid for the labor is supposed to go up.
