If you can, please consider donating to their GoFundMe. The money is going to union members this holiday so they can buy groceries and pay rent while they fight for a fair contract.
If MiUSA means anything at all, it must mean good paying jobs for workers.

The "real America" that politicians are so in love with is an anarcho-capitalist hellscape that extracts the wealth as efficiently as possible from the poor and middle-class, and distributes it to their wealthy benefactors/party owners. I think it's a bad thing and it should be acknowledged.
