Thousands of workers across multiple industries are currently on strike. Why?

Perhaps it’s because CEO pay has skyrocketed over 1,400% since 1978, while typical worker pay grew by just 18%...

Workers are tired of being underpaid, overworked, and exploited for their labor.

That’s why actors, writers, nurses, baristas, hotel housekeepers, journalists, machinists, and graduate student teachers are amongst the workers that have all walked off the job in recent months.

And 150,000 auto workers may soon join them. 

Now you’re going to hear a lot in the media about how “disruptive” and “costly” these strikes are for the economy. 

Rubbish. The status quo before these strikes was even more disruptive and costly to workers’ livelihoods — and to their well-being. 

And if you’ve been told that these strikes have nothing to do with you — you’ve been lied to. 

These workers are battling one piece of a bigger monster facing us all: the growing consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of a few billionaires and corporations.

As corporations and CEOs rake it in at the expense of everyone else, there’s power in understanding that we are all in this together.

Working people outnumber billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If we stand in solidarity, we will win.

Keep up the fight.
