Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

7 million Americans protested against Trump’s tyranny on a single day last month. Just thought I’d remind folks since major media seem to think it’s a one-day story and a photo gallery instead of overwhelming evidence that there’s growing mass resistance to the regime.
