        “why just BLACK lives?”

        Nobody said other positions SHOULDN’T be, just that EVERY hourly position SHOULD be. And I agree. Salaries positions should also be, but hourly employees are usually on the lowest rungs of the ladder.

        But management and c-suites don’t need unions. They already have the power hourly just doesn’t have.

          You’re overlooking the hundreds of thousands of everyday salaried workers being laid off in the last couple years by drawing a line that doesn’t exist between them and vague “hourly” workers you describe here - I have a good friend in an hourly position that makes $60/ hr with good benefits, and one that makes around $40/hr with crap benefits from his salaried position, both were laid off for no reason last year in one of these rounds of indiscriminate, unjustified firings solely to juice stock dividends.

          No reason to not full court press on this issue FROM ALL WORKERS- labor needs to be unionized, PERIOD - McDonalds or Microsoft, all of it. Nobody is even talking about the relatively non-existent number of people in the c suite here? HUGE ocean between them and the salaried workers at their companies.

          Good job with the solidarity there, bud. The best way to rouse support is to be confrontational toward anyone who is trying to join in, lmao. Why should this guy care about your movement if you don’t care about his?

          I don’t care what the second part of your message says, because I don’t care to read past the dumb capital words you put in for drama.

          Edit: I’m just the messenger, lmao! You guys are neutering your own social movement with your lame attitudes. I’m just telling you about it.

            You have a lot of opinions about things you refuse to even read. Why should anyone take yours seriously?

              Because I’m already on your side, and you’re still annoying. Good luck convincing anyone who actually disagrees with you, which is the only thing that matters.

                    Yeah, because someone addiing emphasis to their comment is the person whonis driving people away and not the person being a child about how someone speaks.
