| I believe that food service workers everywhere, instead of feeling depressed and thinking you can't change anyone, UNIONIZE THE WORKPLACE. Don't believe me, they did it in Canada with a McDonalds.
From The Alberta Federation Of Labour
The Alberta Federation of Labour is celebrating news that the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) successfully unionized workers at a McDonald's outlet in B.C. AFL President Audrey Cormack predicted today that more service sector workers will be turning to unions in the years to come.
"This is an important victory for working people," said Cormack. "It shows that young workers see the need for protection at work and that they are willing to stand up for their rights, even against one of the world's largest corporations."
"I am confident in the next few years we will see increasing numbers of young workers turning to unions to help them achieve respect and dignity in their workplaces," she added.
True, Canada does have what we don't, an actual universal healthcare system (some predictable minor things may not be covered by the healthcare system, but tightly regulated cheap private insurance is available for the "extras"). But I think that ANY FOOD SERVICE WORKER WHO SEES THIS SHOULD GO TO THIS SITE, AND JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR MEDICARE FOR ALL
It is important that all work is valued in our society and that Sipprelle's elitist language get called out, because not everyone can be a successful flat-tax pimping businessman like him. Lets just all hope he's still running his business a year from now.
Though I want people to realize their dreams, I just do not believe, as a disabled citizen, that people's work should be stigmatized, and I am hoping Rush Holt has the same opinion here. |
