It's very simple. Workers need to stand together for our common good. All workers everywhere!

We need to stand in solidarity with any worker/workers protesting and demanding economic and social justice. That child picking tomatoes in a lonely field is the same as that fast food worker asking for a living wage is the same as that teacher standing up against charter schools is the same as that longshoreman refusing to unload shipping containers. All the same. All workers.

We are One Big Union!
