"The working families are being squeezed more than ever. We are being treated like second-class citizens in our own community"
Those people are comical. And here's what one community group participating in the same rally believes:
National Mobilization Against Sweatshops
WE WANT the right to control our time, beginning with the right a 40-hour workweek at a living wage for all– whether we are currently overworked, underemployed, unemployed or working at raising children or doing other care-taking in the home. Working people of all different backgrounds and income levels are being overworked and have lost control over their lives. While some are working long hours, others are excluded from any employment at all. We demand the right to 40-hours of work paid at a living wage. We demand the right to say “no” to hours beyond a 40-hour workweek and the right to have the hours we put in raising the next generation of workers in our homes compensated as part of that 40-hour workweek.
It doesn't work like that.
1) Their urge to advocate against sweatshops/poor working conditions tells me they belong to an unskilled, low-paying job, and/or are not financially stable.
2) Their urge to not work a single second over 40 hours per week tells me they're either lazy, or are not satisfied with their mediocre/unsuccessful job.
3) Their urge to deny the fact that they're probably on the bottom of the socio-economic spectrum tells me they're not introspective, and are probably not aware of a lot of other things.
4) Their urge to believe they should still be able to reside in Manhattan tells me they don't want to change anything about themselves, included their misconstrued thought processes.
Conclusion: They have virtually no positive influence on society.
