Wat er op het spel staat 

Een greep uit het regeerakkoord: 

• Uitgeklede WW en WIA 

• Snoeiharde bezuinigingen op de zorg 

• AOW-leeftijd die steeds verder oploopt 

• Geen plannen voor de betaalbaarheid van woningen 

• Meer ongelijkheid; mensen met lage en middeninkomens gaan er alleen nog maar meer op achteruit 

Dit zijn keuzes die onze zekerheden onder druk zetten. Zekerheden waar we jarenlang voor hebben gestreden. Dit laten we niet gebeuren. Samen laten we zien dat Nederland eerlijker kan én moet zijn. Pak samen met ons je toekomst terug!

Happy May Day - International Workers Day!

May 1st. A day to honor every worker who keeps the world running.

In 1886, workers in Chicago marched for an 8-hour workday. Their courage changed labor rights forever.

Today, we celebrate builders, teachers, healthcare heroes, tech workers, farmers, delivery workers and service workers.

Thank a worker today.

#MayDay #WorkersDay #LaborDay

Workers of the world unite!
Let there be no war between nations
and no peace between classes!

Maid Marian is a later addition to the Robin Hood legends, first appearing with him in two plays in the 1600s. Previously, she was the heroine of the May Games festivities (celebrating the beginning of summer) - a shepherdess who loves the shepherd Robin (a very different "Robin").

Today in Labor History March 15, 1917: The U.S. Supreme Court approved the 8-hour workday under the threat of a rail strike. Philadelphia carpenters struck for the 10-hour day in 1791 and by the 1830s, it had become a general demand of workers. In 1835, Philadelphia workers organized the first general strike in North America, led by Irish coal heavers, in the struggle for a 10-hour day. However, by 1836, labor movement publications were calling for an 8-hour day. In 1864, the 8-hour day became a central demand of the Chicago labor movement. In 1867, a citywide strike for the 8-hour day shut down the city's economy for a week before falling apart. During the 1870s, eight hours became a central demand of the U.S. labor movement, with a network of 8-Hour Leagues forming across the nation.

In 1872, 100,000 workers in New York City struck and won the eight-hour day. On May 1, 1886 Albert Parsons, head of the Chicago Knights of Labor, led 80,000 people down Michigan Avenue in the first modern May Day Parade, with workers chanting, "Eight-hour day with no cut in pay." Within days, 350,000 workers went on strike nationwide for the 8-hour day. On 3 May 1886, anarchist August Spies, editor of the Arbeiter-Zeitung (Workers Newspaper), spoke to 6,000 workers. Afterwards, they marched to the McCormick plant in Chicago to harass scab workers. The police arrived and opened fire, killing four and wounding many more. On May 4, workers protested this police violence at a meeting in Haymarket Square. An unknown assailant hurled a bomb at the police. The authorities rounded up hundreds of labor activists and anarchists. They convicted 8 in a kangaroo court and executed four of them, including Parsons and Spies.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American currently works 8.8 hours every day. This, of course, does not include commute time which, for many Americans, can add another two or more hours a day to the time they give away for free to their bosses. Nor does it include work we take home. The scam of being a “salaried” employee is commonly exploited by bosses, who argue that we are paid based on the responsibilities completed, regardless of how long it takes to complete them.
