Construction workers, service employees, bike messengers, food workers, security guards, and other workers were all in support of the strike. They recognized their common position in our society. As I write this article, the teacher's union of LA County is set to go on strike. Tens of thousands of teachers are getting ready to walk off the job. All these causes are linked.
People have to remember that it's the workers who create all of the wealth in our society.
It's really great to remind people who really has the power-the workers. I've never seen a dollar bill transform wood into a house. The capitalists can want big buildings, but workers have to build them. The building owners can want really clean buildings, but workers have to clean them. In fact, everything that the capitalist class desires requires workers in order to be carried out.
