Holiday Pay

Aug 25, 2008

Workers make everything needed for day-to-day life. We transport everything. We’re the essential part of all services. The society couldn’t exist a week, a day, an hour without our labor.

Yet not everyone who labors is paid holiday pay for Labor Day. Why? Because while we make everything, we do not RUN this society.
