OCCUPY RIGHT TO WORK!

Right to work makes it sound like you can get a job without paying union dues.

What that means is that employers will have the ability to hire non-union workers.

Employers in this state (Missouri) can already fire you for any reason, including going to the bathroom.

They can record you-- despite federal wiretapping laws that would prohibit this kind of spying in any other context- they can check your background, refuse to pay your unemployment, and with the ACA, knock your hours back so that you have to pay health premiums.

WORKERS HAVE NO RIGHTS IN RIGHT TO WORK STATES.

And workers in this country don't have that many rights to begin with.

There is ENOUGH WORK.  But there are NOT ENOUGH JOBS.

Everyone should be able to get a job.  Work should be divided as equitably as wealth.

There is NO executive, no matter how many hours they put in, that works as hard as a factory worker, or farmer, or ditch digger.  And the employers are the ones that are truly dispensable!

If the CEO doesn't show up, the company keeps running.  But if the workers don't show up, production stops.

All those people that support "Right To Work" and say they made it on their own, without any help, please ask them to demonstrate this BY DOING THE WORK THEMSELVES.

Those people that say "you poor and unemployed, you need to try harder."  Let's see those people demonstrate that.  Since it should be so easy to "try a little harder" and go from $200 a week earnings to $1000 a week, please show us how you can go from $1000 a week to $5000.

It's easy, right?  Prove it.

Employers and business owners and CEO's DO NOT DESERVE THE WEALTH FROM OUR LABOR.

EVERY JOB DESERVES A UNION! EVERY PERSON DESERVES A LIVEABLE WAGE, MANDATORY BREAK TIME, HEALTH CARE,  AND UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE!

OCCUPY YOUR JOB!

OCCUPY RIGHT TO WORK!

(Look at how they word this--it 's not "impartial reporting", it's a marketing scheme to sell Right To Work to the public: http://www.kmov.com/news/politics/Missouri-House-endorses-right-to-work-bill-254659421.html)

WHAT OCCUPIERS CAN LEARN FROM FIGHT CLUB (HINT: NOT VIOLENCE)

The first rule of Fight Club...

http://youtu.be/i2lmFCqbJcI
"Don't talk about Fight Club."  That's the second rule, too.

If you work at some company like Monsanto, or the government, or any part of the 1%'s infrastructure, the best thing you can do is keep your mouth shut at work.

But keep your eyes open.

You don't have to be Edward Snowden or Julian Assaunge.  In fact, in many ways whistle-blowing action is better on the downlow.

Be the unseen leak.

Find your "25".  25 people (or as many as you can) that you know and trust, that you can count on to keep their source and connection with you secret.

Meet in the park with your cell phone off and in the car while you walk and talk.  Find out as much as you can about the company that you work for and what they are doing and tell your fellow Occupiers.

Let those of us out in the open do our work.

We don't need violence.  We have more strength than they do.

Can you imagine if there was a city-wide, or nation-wide strike, even for one day?  No one goes to work, no one buys anything, no one watches television or goes on the internet?

Can you imagine how badly the rich and powerful would fare without their maids and bus boys and factory workers? If we the people stopped the wheels of production for one day?

If we all met in the park and exchanged their secrets?

If even 3.5% of the population went on strike this country would shut down.

The NSA, the cops, the data-metrics counters, social media-- all of them are watching us, but they can't watch all of us, all the time.

And we can watch them.

Easily.  Without any inconvenience on our part.

You know where the weakest links are in the part of the machinery you occupy.  Start sharing that information.

This world should not be a "for profit" endeavor of a few people.  EVERYONE has the right to decent work for decent pay, housing and shelter, food, medical care, clean water and air.

This is your life, and its ending one minute at a time: http://youtu.be/0zGeS8OFjEs
