Where There is a Will... There Will be a Living Wage (P. 2)

Throughout history, women and men in the labor movement have struggled to gain power in an economy that often seems to work against them, placing profit over people. For the past hundred years, the United States has seen great strides in workers' rights, from the formation of unions, the eight-hour workday, child labor laws, and the creation of a minimum wage. Despite these gains, there exists a growing population of working poor, people who work full-time jobs, yet are unable to meet their most basic needs, including housing, food, child care, health care, and transportation. As traditional tactics and union influence become less effective, workers and advocates of workers' rights are creating new and innovative strategies, which are being implemented in movements for a living wage.

Everyone calls it earning a living but I see it as earning the right to live or get a note from your doctor

GNP of the planet is around 70 trillion, that's 10k a year for every person on the planet. How do those people earning less than a dollar a day figure in to that? Is the guy earning a hundred million a year taking their share?

I don't see things changing with the industry wide emulation of greed and corruption. People just stay where they are and keep doing what they're told to do Booyah
