In reply to the discussion: Kick if you are participating in the May Day General Strike on May 1st [View all]socialist_n_TN
(11,481 posts)35. A lot of businesses close on May Day in other parts.........
of the world. Since I'm a "contractor" technically I'm stiking against myself too. But I'm going to do it to reclaim my worker's holiday. People DIED at Haymarket on May Day over a century ago. All for an 8 hour day that the bosses are STILL trying to take away from us. Along with EVERY OTHER FUCKING BENEFIT WE HAVE.
Fuck it. I'm taking off.
