My husband has always said immigrants fleeing their country should stay behind and fight and now he’s looking at countries that would accept us.
That’s interesting. I’ve always agreed with that logic. But I’ve decided to stick it out no matter what happens.
I signed the strike card at the general strike website but it’s taking too long before they call the strike. I fear that website will get raided and all the sign ups will be lost. 😞
Unfortunately that’s not how strikes work. They need critical mass or it will do nothing. It needs to have everyone on the list willing to risk their house, home, and livelihood to make it happen. And to you need to realize not even close to enough people are willing to do so.
If you haven’t already, try getting a union involved in your workplace, as a unionized workplace will allow far more successful organization of such events. Align a union you create yourself with your coworkers with UAW’s mass strike line, join their cause
Unfortunately I’ve been laid off. So creating a union right now in this economy won’t do much good. I heard the jobs report was massively worse than they made it out to be.
So I guess I’ll have to wait until more people feel the impacts of the failing economy.
