Unemployment in the USA now (7/3/09) stands at 9.5%. That's over 14.7 million workers.
From "Hallelujah I'm a Bum"
I worked overtime
like a big greedy slob
now the warehouse is full
and I'm out of a job
Hallelujah I'm a bum
Hallelujah bum again
Halleluha give us a hand out
to revive us again
Shorter work time with no cut in pay would solve the problem of unemployment, drive wages up and give workers a better crack at organising unions to protect their living standards from encroachments by their employers. You have to take responsibility, get yourself organised in the IWW and add your voice to the call for, THE FOUR HOUR DAY WITH NO CUT IN PAY.
You have to stand up for yourself or the bosses will ride roughshod over you. If you want to remain a wage-slave, just keep your mouth shut, shake hands with your boss and look wise.
