    Americans will attack other workers for minor differences in lifestyle rather than attack their boss for failing to provide basic quality of life in exchange for full time work.

    Just like the ruling class wants…

    Just because our cage is slightly nicer and we get fed slightly better slop doesn’t mean we’re not in this together.

    Most of us are sticking with you … the real problem is the 1%

    it’s curious that the US does not observe it in that day since the events that commemorates it happened in Chicago, during a series of protests for a 8 hour work day.

    But of course, that is not accident. They put a lot of effort in framing workers’ movements as a communist plot. At one point they even instituted a “loyalty day” on 1st of May to counteract any labour movement.

    The international worker’s day is a holiday in france, so everyone can go protest (or do whatever at home, but there are usually big protests on may 1st)
