Not do I only believe working 40hrs is too much, I also believe kids being in school all day is absurd. That’s too much. 25 hrs should be full time work, 30 max. Kids are in school all damn day because parents are at work. No one is effective 40+ hrs a week.
Not counting the time to getting to work/school and back home. I know this tweet thread won’t go viral, but this shut down should’ve brought workers together. We should be demanding proper pay and less hours working. Almost 50% of our days are either working or sleeping.
That’s by design. If we’re constantly going, you don’t question shit because you’re in survival mode. Especially if you aren’t making a living wage. Tie min wage to inflation, give mandatory sick and vacation leave. Even for pt employees.
I work in education. I am over worked and under paid. Most of us are. Hell, most Americans are over worked and under paid. It doesn’t have to be one group vs the other, unless it’s us vs the billionaires and those in power. Because it’s absolutely us vs the 1%.
