Jet flyovers and corporate TV ads ain't gonna cut it. If we truly want to honor our frontline workers, we must guarantee to them:

🛌Universal paid sick leave
👷🏻‍Safe workplaces
🥽Protective gear
💪$15 minimum wage
✊🏾Right to a union
🍼Child care
⚠️Hazard pay
🏥Health care

Lucy Parsons was described by the Chicago Police Department as “more dangerous than a thousand rioters." A founding member of the IWW, she was a radical and a working class fighter. On this May Day, we should all learn about and be inspired by her life.

Currently we have a renewed understanding of the importance of workers - unskilled as well as skilled.

@Paul26055619 @stopthe38459067 @SenatorLeahy @USPS When FedEx and USPS are required to fund pensions for employees who haven't been born yet, then let's see how competitive they are. Ideologues have hamstrung the service to prove gov't can't do anything right.
