Overworked? Underpaid?

We’re all feeling the squeeze.  What can we do? ORGANIZE!
By Workers Power / workers-power.org

Profits are higher than ever, but we aren’t paid enough to make a living! We can’t afford basic necessities like food, clothing, rent and medical expenses while our wages are too low. Many of us need two or three jobs just to feed our kids. And our jobs are constantly being threatened.

Meanwhile, capitalists are making more money than ever. McDonald’s makes $5 billion profit a year! Walmart makes $15 billion!

ALL of these profits come from OUR WORK—from the products and services that we and all the workers around the world provide. Then they tell us that if we’re not able to survive, that it’s our fault, that we don’t work hard enough! What right do a privileged few have to live off our sweat, while we suffer?

UNITE & FIGHT!
Together we can set the terms!

Politicians won’t save us. Republicans and Democrats alike, always put business interests over the needs of the people. And establishment unions often sell us out too. We need to take matters into our own hands!!

Workers Power is for broad, autonomous organizations of ALL workers and laborers to fight together against exploitation!

“I know it’s hell to stand up for yourself, but if you don’t, you’re gonna suffer anyway, you’re gonna keep suffering under that boot.”

—Elizabeth Sorrell, partner of drywall taper, Ontario
