Short rant.

Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.

Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.

It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.

Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.

Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.

Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.

End Rant.

The only way to get a leash on the tyranny of the rich is for working people to band together. Unions can demand and win work conditions that are more humane. $9.1 BILLION can hire a lot of people!

@Radaghaz @QasimRashid unions are just representative democracy in the workplace.
.
Beware those who oppose democracy & demonize it in defense of the unelected wealthy
