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)

OCCUPY WORK

WHY OCCUPY?

Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is a non-violent people's movement for change, centered around Wall Street and the culture of greed that is running our country, and the world, into the ground.

OWS is credited with coining the terms "1%" and "99%".  The 1% of the world's wealthiest, that live on the backs of the rest of us, the 99%.

I started the Occupy Public Transportation in St. Louis action because I saw that NOTHING was going to change without someone standing up and demanding it.

There are a lot of things I want to change, but Public Transit is an immediate need for many people.  And few public entities are as entwined with the 1% and the politicians they manipulate as public transit.

The whole world needs change.  There are more of us than there of them -- and we don't have to resort to violence to get the changes we need.

WE JUST HAVE TO START OCCUPYING OUR OWN LIVES!

For some of us that may mean camping out in Zuccotti Park and protesting Wall Street greed.  But for a lot more of us, what it means is investigating the structure of society that we take for granted.

Changes can be made, but WE will have to do the changing!
