Happy Labor Day people! Hope it's a good one for you whether you are celebrating it from the cozy confines of your backward around the barbecue pit or enjoying it from some vacation spot of significance to you like I am.In the United States and Canada, this is a day to celebrate workers. But what I have not been happy about as someone who grew up in a union household is seeing the conservafool assault on union and people foolishly believing the right wing propaganda that unions are evil.
People not getting a living wage and having to get public assistance while corporations make obscene profits is what is evil. It's past time the minimum wage was raised in the US from the pathetic $7.25 it sits at right now.
For those of you who are engaged in searching for work, may those job searches be swiftly successful and you find employment that allows you to grow with the company.
For you entrepreneurs out there, may your businesses continue to grow and be successful Speaking of successful, may we continue to have success passing gender identity inclusive non-discrimination laws that will lead to increased employment for talented trans people.
And since we are rapidly approaching another crucial midterm election November 4, one of the questions you need to be asking your state and federal legislative candidates is where they stand on raising the minimum wage, passing legislation to eviscerate Citizens United and that bull feces corporatist assertion that corporations are people.
Yeah, I'll believe that crap when Texas executes one.
Happy Labor Day people!
