Social Class: Labor Unions
Many American unions begin with "international" for a reason. It's because solidarity extends beyond our borders. Labor's first organizers understood that workers will only rise together. We must never lose sight of that. #ImmigrantRights are #WorkersRights. ~ @Kanielalng American Union, Immigration Reform, Us Border, Solidarity, Understood

The ultimate goal of "Right to Work" is to break unions so businesses can lower pay and benefits to workers. It has nothing to do with your right to work. Someecards, Calvin And Hobbes, Doug Funnie, Funny Commercials, Back In The 90s, Medical Humor, Nurse Humor, Pharmacy Humor, Medical Assistant

Wages are going down in this country for everybody. When you destroy unions there will be no standard at all, nobody left to negotiate decent jobs for the middle class." ~ U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders Photo credit: Gage Skidmore Bonehead, 2016 Presidential Election, Easily Offended, Minimum Wage, United We Stand, Deserve Better
