  • Workers around the world have, for over a century, fought to ensure the bare minimum of labor rights. And May Day is just one day that commemorates their efforts. But what's the story behind the day in the United States?

    Why wasn't this taught in school? My father (who of course watches Fox News) goes on and on about what I was taught in school being the reason why I voted for Bernie Sanders but I never learned about this!

    There are still people that work in our farms who continue to be exploited. This video talks about the the past as if exploitation of workers doesn't happen in the US anymore. Make a video about immokalee farm workers like good allies

    Most countries celebrate "Workers' Day" (as in, you know, the actual people) and some others just a distant abstract noun: "Labour Day". Think about it.

      Gaming with Adam That is literally impossible. Communism is Government owned means of production, capitalism is based on PRIVATE property. These things cannot coexist. You either have private property or you don't.

      "Free" is never "Free". You mean tax payer funded.
      Having a baby is a choice. Taking take of that baby is a choice (albeit an easy one). Therefore, not contributing to the company is a choice. Not being paid is the logical outcome. If my right front wheel decided to not function for 6 weeks, I'd replace it too. Why? because I (my own company) have places to go.
      Paid Maternity leave is a BONUS not a right.

      Because other countries are stupid and like to be led around by their feelings.
      Babies need extra care. Yes and who decided to have the baby? Who's responsibility is it to take care of the baby? Interstate Battery LLC??? yeah...no
      That's fine you can have your choice. But most of these countries you tout FORCE me to pay for your fat ass...or the other way round. Neither of which is reasonable. I didn't make the choices that led to your unhealthy life, you didn't make the choices that led to mine. Why should the state force us to pay for each other? People can, will , and do function on these needs outside of the state. For instance, in the US people have been forming little coalitions of 100-200 people who purchase medical insurance and a personal doctor for themselves and only use the insurance AFTER they have a reasonable diagnosis from their doctor. No state needed.
      Oh, I've no doubt that our generation of retards will quite happily follow their delusional ideas into the ditch right along side canada and europe. Doesn't mean I have to agree.

      Did I say that? No I didn't. People can pool resources for rare accidents like they've always done. Why do I need the government's involvement? Even Bernie admitted that his plan would cost everyone ~5000 more a year. He argued that we would save because of the higher cost. But I don't even pay 5000 a year for my insurance now. How does a yearly increase happen with no additional benefit? Government mismanagement at its finest.
      Why are we talking about abortion being banned? That's out of the blue.
      My delusional ideas of individualism and personal responsibility are the cornerstones of western civilization. Your totalitarian thinking is what creates communism or facism. At least if I'm poor, I'll know exactly who to blame. You'll just keep blaming rich people. Like christians blaming the devil.
      Yes they will charge me, but at a rate I can supply otherwise no deal. This is creating a voluntary market. They don't have to insure me, but they'll have to forego my revenue then. This is why unions can work. Again, I don't need the government's monopoly of force to make this work.

      Universal healthcare increases access yes. But any good that is free is overconsumed. EG Obamacare is already running over estimates and is literally failing. LOL and Bernie wants to freaking double down. As I've said people are getting their own healthcare already, and many doctors are refusing to become state licensed in order to practice how they want. Americans appear to not want what you are peddling (at least in some areas). And some of these alternatives are proving cheaper than our system prior to Obamacare.
      Hmmm I wonder why they can't get a job....surely if they asked for less money, they could get some type of job and start working their way up...o wait we have minimum wage laws here....so we have illegals coming in to undercut the market....funny that...
      No that 5000 was the tax burden for middle income families. That's AFTER the military cuts. At least from what I understood.
      We don't have a ban on abortion.
      Yes, And if I climb back up I'll know who to blame also...myself.
      Lol Canada the successful. Well known globally for....maple syrup? and cows? and being near the US? and being cold as fuk?
      How's that Ontario debt going? Think Alberta will go down to AA S&P rating this year? Sure just keep telling yourself lies while your government sells you down the river.
      When will people learn, the government cannot be trusted...ever...they want your money and will promise you anything to get it. Fix your own problems and build a community for yourself. Not hard, but it is hard work.
      A quick way to find out if you blame the rich for gaming the system.
      Should the rich pay more taxes than the poor? If yes, why should they? If your answer is because the rich got there with the community's support or similar, congratulations you blame the rich for getting rich off the backs of the poor. Therefore we can conclude they are undeserving of their wealth.

    There's nothing inherently wrong with labor unions or workers rights, but 8 hour work days and many other legal restrictions hinders workers rights by restricting the choices they may make.
    Ultimately competition and the ability to choose others is what protects both employees and employers from abuse. Not legislation.
