Worker Rights: The Cause To Unite All Americans

Democrats, The Workers Friend, claim that by Importing Third World Labor to reduce Wages and Take Jobs from Americans is the Answer.

It's telling that both left-wing and right-wing media are attacking the nascent worker reformation movement in the United States. CBS, CNN, and Fox have all done hit-pieces on the movement. The people who make $700/hour have convinced those who make $25/hr that the people making $7.25/hr are the problem, when the real problem is that the working class is being exploited and oppressed to make the rich richer.

It's not that people "don't want to work." It's that people can no longer afford to work shit-paying jobs. People are sick of being treated like a cheap resource and are finally standing up for their worth. The capitalists preach that value is determined by supply and demand, but they seem to think that this doesn't apply to labor, so rather than offer competitive salaries and benefits to attract labor, they whine and post passive aggressive signs on their business doors about how "nobody wants to work," when the fact is people do want to work, just not for peanuts.

The working class in the United States is tired of class oppression. We want what workers in other developed nations have, including:

- Paid maternity/paternity leave
- living wages
- termination with cause and with notice
- the right to not be called into work on one's day off under threat of termination
- guaranteed PTO/vacation time
- guaranteed sick pay

Is it too much to ask to not be treated like expendable cattle? If Jeff Bezos can take leisure voyages into space, is it too much to ask that his largest wealth-building resource--his employees--be able to afford a roof and groceries, or even, god forbid, the luxury of spare cash to put into a retirement account?

Or maybe you think I'm a crazed lunatic, and that the "solution" to the current labor shortage is to do what Wisconsin legislators are proposing by having kids work until 11pm (because apparently it's better to bring back child labor than to distribute some of the wealth from the wealthy class so that adult workers can have a living wage and exist with dignity).

trump voters, who need minimum wage the most, are opposed to minimum wage. they do support trump, who says Americans are overpaid, and wants the government to intervene to push down wages.

Importing MORE PEOPLE is the answer.
 
Every Plantation Owner knows you make more money when the Black Sharecropper fights with the White Sharecropper, and the White Sharecropper fights with the Black Sharecropper. That way, they don't fight with the Plantation Owner.

During the pandemic (and as always), the wealthy class benefitted from our loss.

Meanwhile, the wealthy have the left and right focus on identity politics.

I don't know if you are a crazed lunatic, but I would like to see your sources for this nascent workers movement and how the LW in particular is attacking it, and also how the RW is.

Thanks.

Don't blame the illegals for "stealing jobs." They're already at the absolute bottom of the food chain in this country and have zero power as it is. If anything, blame the employers who would illegally hire them and pay them peanuts, simultaneously taking advantage of illegal workers' desperation while lowering wages across the board.

Excellent. Good Thinking! Increasing the Labor Pool by 100% will Raise Wages and Provide Jobs.

I think you're a kid that drank the Commie kool-aid and hasn't really been out in the work force much.

Marx was always talking about "the workers" but never worked a day in his life. I can't see taking the advice of a couch-crasher that never worked ary a day in his life and had no real-world experience.

The things you're asking for really aren't too much, and people used to get all those things. In order to get that back, illegal immigration and outsourcing of jobs has to be cut almost completely out.

Illegal labor depresses wages badly PLUS they suck up poverty benefits that are supposed to be for Americans.

No. The point I'm making is that, rather than blaming illegals for "stealing jobs," you should blame business owners for hiring them illegally. Why does nobody criticize the businesses hiring the illegals?

Because lowering the Labor Input Cost means MORE PROFIT for the Shareholding Class.

I've been working all my life. And why are you calling me a communist? I'm a socialist capitalist. Your personal attacks are meaningless and beside the point.

Why do you attack the illegal workers, yet never attack the businesses that hire them? The businesses are breaking all sorts of laws and evading taxes by hiring illegals. Maybe you ought to redirect your hatred away from the desperate, exploited illegals trying to survive and turn it towards the real enemy.

Illegal immigration from south of the border was practically non-existent sixty years ago. But everyone seems to have collective amnesia about how it came to be a problem.

You've never been to the Southwest and have never heard of Cesar Chavez.
 
The fast food industry seems to have been hit the hardest by the employee shortage.

Yet, the service you get now is worse than ever. Even the quality of the food they sell is lacking as well.

And I have also noticed the increase in prices across the entire fast food market.

I do not eat fast food anymore. Never again! I got tired of getting someone else orders, and the rude people with no manners, that you have to deal with.

Cheap Wages = Expensive slop + bad service!

You don't even get what you pay for anymore.

It's either fine dining take-out for me- or I just do my own home cooking!
