As we organize ourselves to fight, we also need to join the struggles of working farmers who more and more face the loss of their farms as the prices of their crops fall below the cost of production. The labor movement must champion a struggle for jobs for all. Reduce the workweek from 40 hors to 30 with no cut in pay. The government should launch a massive campaign of public works to rebuild cities and build housing, schools, day care centers and other projects urgently needed by working people. Jobs should be at union scale.
Workers have no interest in defending the profits of the bosses.
We are the one class internationally with the same interests as workers in Brazil, Japan and Russia. The fight for jobs for all can unite workers, union and non-union, strengthening our class.
