America doesn’t have a labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a child care shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage.
@rbreich I’m pretty sure we do also have a labor shortage since we’re at least 600k workers lighter due to covid death and that number increases if you include long covid disability. This labor shortage is our opportunity to ensure we get those benefits though. The strikes will continue until benefits improve.
@bflipp@rbreich ...and OSHA is fully funded enough to stop cowering and kowtowing to corporations. Lack of sick pay and universal health care makes for dangerous working conditions, global pandemic or not.
