Liberation and Labor Day By James M. Lawson, Jr., AlterNet
On this Labor Day 2004, hotel workers are rising up to renew our faith in the American dream, and to create new dreams for millions of others who labor without the benefit of a union, without medical insurance, pensions, respect and just reward.
We all have a stake in the hotel workers' fight to make service jobs a path to the middle class, rather than a highway to hopelessness.
We must endorse their right to speak with one voice and therefore to align their contract expirations in 2006.
We must march with them, get arrested with them, and support them in every way possible.
Then shall we all be together on the road to liberation.------------------------------------------- posted 7:36 AM :: reference link ::
