Remember to use libraries to spread awareness

At the library you can print out things for only like 10 cents. They also sometimes have boards where you can but up flyers I think.

TRUCKERS

hi, noscript says it all. A majority strike would be great if we can pull it off, but if we can figure out how to convince truckers to strike, even for a short period, it would have massive ramifications for the economy!

I've done some research- tuckers have successfully striked and it led to better work conditions, but the industry is hip to this now and it is a lot harder and more dangerous to strike as a trucker.

If anyone has some ideas, or knows a trucker to help us out that old be great!

Michigan subreddit created for organization!

Hello! r/miworkersrights has been created, it’s barren at the moment and I could use moderators since I’m a bit inexperienced, but I want to help organize and get people to at least perform a slow down if they can’t strike or help find alternate ways to support, or help those who need supplies during striking. I’m in a bit of a sticky situation at the moment because life is exciting, but after I do I plan on doubling down on agriculture to provide community food. We need local organization to make meaningful change and maybe we can make local change at the least!!!

Millions of open jobs and pay raises are DOWN (link)

This is astounding imo. He says pay raises are only 3.6% for people switching jobs, which is lower than before the pandemic. People staying put are getting the same pay raises (for me it stayed 0%).

What to do if you went to help but live in another country

If you live in another country, but work for a US owned company then either go on strike or take the day off. Also don't buy anything from US owned companies.

Things to do if you can't strike:

1. Try to request the day off now and save up if you're able to

2. Make posts and leave comments about it on reddit, tik tok, Facebook, and any other social medias you have.

3. Tell EVERYONE you know about it. Don't be rude, be calm and polite when you talk about it.

4. Don't buy anything at all on the day of the strike. Stay home or do something that's free. Its about not participating in the economy at all.

5. If you live in another country but work for a business that also operates in America then got on strike. Also don't buy anything from a US based company on Oct 15.

6. Help people who are striking. Help them withe whatever they can't afford since they're missing work.

If you can think of something I missed then comment it.
