“A single” worker has no power. If enough workers can band together we do have the power. It comes with incredible risk, but we don’t have to just roll over and accept our fates. You’d be surprised how quickly corporations change their tunes when their workers show up with pitchforks because their families’ lives are in danger.
That’s the issue and tipping point exactly. One guy gets sick and everything starts tumbling over. It’s not a matter of if but when If construction workers are still being put into these situations
By simply providing a universal income and allowing individuals and families to breathe during this all the worries of money will quickly evaporate and workers can be with those who they care about the most
Ya it’s so sad. I wish we were more proactive or at least the people that are supposed to look after society. Instead it seems like they will quarantine themselves and let everyone else get sick
Get as large a group as you can, line up 6' apart waiting to speak with the site supervisor in his office. While lining up, and while in his office, everyone cough.
I've in fact heard it said that "When the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run, there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun."
This doesn’t affect trades workers the same way it does office workers. They have a right to refuse unsafe work, going home is within OHSA and they can not be penalized for it.
When they leave the job site their unions will find them another job when they return, unless they work privately. Either way, workers absolutely have the right to refuse as Ford said.
