The following video gives us some background on the history of Labor Day and its violent beginning (rights were never GIVEN to us, people, without a fight)…
…and this video marked protests by fast food workers timed for the 50th anniversary of the Memphis municipal workers sanitation strike (if the national Democratic Party had any spine, a $15-an-hour minimum wage would be a plank in the party platform)…
…as noted here, though, the “fight for $15” protests have been going on for about four years (and kudos to Gov. Wolf for this – to reward good behavior, click here, and to do more, click here)…
…and this tells us about the origins of the teacher’s protests (more here), giving some insight into what it takes to carry that load in Oklahoma in particular (and I thought this was noteworthy also)…
Update: More here (and here)...
…and Robert Reich provides more background (more food for thought on this is here and here, and this, unfortunately, is sadly appropriate IMHO)….
...and here is a song for the occasion.
