Massive Protest Planned Against Trump As 340,000 Workers To Strike On May 1

A massive protest is being planned against Donald Trump as at least 340,000 will walk off the job and strike around the country on May 1.

Buzzfeed News reported, “Almost 350,000 service workers plan to strike on May 1, a traditional day for labor activism across the world, in the most direct attempt yet by organized labor to capture the energy from a resurgent wave of activism across the country since the election of Donald Trump.”

300,000 fast food workers and 40,000 unionized service workers plan to strike. The workers correctly believe that they are in the crosshairs of the Trump administration. The Trump immigration actions, healthcare bill, and budget would all hurt workers who are often classified as the working people. These are the people who work 2 or 3 low wage service industry jobs and struggle to keep food on the table, rent paid, and the lights on.

The Trump administration represents the biggest threat to workers since the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Trump has a stated goal of busting unions and lowering wages. The President is fond of promising “good jobs” for people, but he never defines what he considers to be a good job. There is a very good reason why Trump never talks about wages and pay.

Trump intends to take away labor law protections from workers and reduce wages.

As a candidate, Trump argued that wages must be kept low, “Whether it’s taxes or wages, if they’re too high we’re not going to be able to compete with other countries.”

Trump wants only two classes to exist in America, the rich, and everyone else.

Workers need to take to the streets often to fight back against this administration. 340,000 is a good start, but millions more will need to join the fight to stop Trump.

I'm not sure if the world is the same outside of the industry that I work in, but if you create trouble, you get fired! That's pretty simple to understand. It's one thing to call out sick, but it's a totally different thing to be disruptive. It's like biting the hand that feeds you. When will you Liberal Democrats ever give up the fabricated stories that you keep trying to feed to your sheep!?

And then who is going to work for $4/hr in the drive-thru window? Certainly not an American. Make $30,000 a year and live with 20 people in one bedroom?

Keep in mind what happened on the day that the immigrants stayed home. I don't know what the percentage of participation was, but I heard enough stories about no-shows getting canned.

Fact Check:

$7.25 is the federal minimum wage limit. Not $4.00. Therefore no one will be be working the drive-thru for that amount. Haven't since the 70's.

$4x2080 hrs. = $8320. No where near your $30k annually.
$7x2080 hrs. = $15,080. Not bad for what was never to be a primary income or career path.
Finally, following your post to it's illogical conclusion...
@$4.00 hr. whoever is making $30k annually while living with 20 people that are also working the drive-thru for $4.00/$30K more than likely NOT in a single bedroom home or apartment so let's triple it at least and come to the conclusion that 63 people are earning $4.00 hr./$30K annually OR $1,890,000 collectively.
None of which are paying taxes naturally and also take in at least another $1.9mil in health care and government cheese programs.

I bet every one of their anchor babies can count..........better than you.
