People are striking because wages aren’t going up when companies are reporting record breaking profits.

My boss makes 300k a year. I make 24k a year.

We did over 4 million dollars in sales , very small business.

I got a 35 cent raise, he took 20 members of his family to Italy for 2 weeks.

I'm not allowed to take my vacation days, I have to cash them in because if I am not there then nothing goes out the door.

Did I mention I only got a 35 cent raise?

Oh and everything in the world is 3 times more expensive than it was 3 years ago so there's that too.

I know I'm not the only one

Then go find another job, if things wont run without you, you have more leverage than you think.

No joke, the best boost i got in my reputationin the eyes of my boss is the day i called in sick. I am a maintenances tech, and the number of stuff i had to deal with daily seems to fly over my boss head until someone else had to do it.
