And wow, did you deliver. Check out the more than 500 thoughtful, encouraging, and inspiring messages you've sent in already:



"We are with you all" —Trevor

"Unions in the past gave us a voice, and it worked.  We now have 40 work weeks, get paid overtime, get benefits, paid holidays, safe working conditions, and during that time living wages.   To many who don't remember what it was like before the unions and listened to those who told them they where bad and allowed them to disband them.  And look where we are now.  Every year we loose more and more.  It's time for us to stand together again and bring back our voice.  Unions weren't a 100% perfect but we can learn from our mistakes made and build stronger unions and demand that we be paid living wages, adequate benefits, and be treated with respect and not just pieces of meat that they can use up and toss out on a whim.   We need to spread this message not just here in the US, but across the world to our brothers and sisters who are being treated as we where before we found a voice.   If all workers stand up to the big corporations and business world and demand our rights for fair pay and benefits, and safe working conditions, who are they going to ship our jobs too then?  The ship the jobs overseas because they can get away with treating them like cattle.  If we all stand together there won't be able to treat anyone like this any more." —Vickie

"To escape predatory cut throat capitalistic plutocracy and to reduce income inequality we need all workers to be paid a living wage and have secure safety nets.  Innovation, research and creativity need to be encouraged and that only occurs under participatory management.  Top down micromanagement and manipulation and denigration of the working middle class perpetrates economic and political strife, reduced productivity, increased income inequality and a depressed economy with low morale and disaffection.  " —Larry 

"Have at least 2-3 close loved-ones working minimum wage jobs in positions in food service industry. And the only health insurance affordable to them is Medicaid. Meaning that the rest of society is subsidizing their health care. Like Bernie said during mostof thepast campaign season--a decent wage isn't just a matter of fair and just employment practice. It makes,  in the long run, the only good "bottom-line" kinda' economic sense. " —Stephen

"Hang in their. In spite of anti-workers Trump, most people want to raise minimum wage and support workers' rights. It's unfortunate that so many ignorant people voted for Trump, since the Republicans care more about big business, rich Republican donors, and giving the upper crust even more advantages over the rest of us. Huge companies are making record profits of all US history, their salaries and bonuses are greater than ever before, and now Trump wants to cut taxes of the rich, destroy unions, and fire a bunch of federal employees. He promises to give more to the top and start shrinking government at the bottom. He is promoting even more government spending. If the rich pay even less, whom so you think will pay more to afford all this? Of course, you and me, who Trump calls"the little guy." He tells us he's a billionaire, but tells the IRS that he lost money. He pays someone to prove he is broke so he won't pay his share of taxes and says that shows that he's smart. I guess I'm dumb since I pay my taxes. The people will overcome, if they wise up and stop voting for those who are against us! " —Stuart

"Dear Sirs and/or Madam:  Hopefully most if not all of your fellow workers went out and actually voted.  However, based on the lower voter turn-out numbers for this election, I believe that didn't happen.  I am a retired member of PA LOCAL 5 in central PA with 54 years of active membership.  I know, through these many years of work, that under Democratic administrations, working men and women ALWAYS do better.  Now that we have the orange haired monster to deal with our outlook is bleak.  Please inspire your brothers and sisters to get registered to vote and go out in the mid-term elections and actually do it.  As for me, my first voting experience was in 1960 and I voted for John F. Kennedy (haven't missed an election since).  Please don't forget that most republicans support anti-labor issues.  Trump, a billionaire himself, will do all he can to make sure that he and those like him get richer.  Thank you, retired union bricklayer." —John

And workers shouldn't have to work three jobs to support themselves and still not have enough to live on!Then, the GOP can't complain about Medicaid, food stamps and welfare checks! Imagine how much the government would save if they would fight for the American people instead of lining their own pockets with corporate donations!" —Dianne

"Keep up the good fight! We are only as strong as our weakest links! It's why if one person accepts less than what's right - it makes it more likely The NEXT person will have to accept less too! It's a domino effect as we compete with ourselves- when theydouble the workload & don't double the pay & we push ourselves to meet the demand & succeed in doing two people's job (for the price of one)-- that temporary success is actually a failure... as they now see we CANand WILL do two people jobs at the same time- but it is unsustainable!! & then we end up writing our own layoff slip.... as there is always someone younger, faster, stronger who will work for less-- but replacing the WHOLE WORKFORCE AT ONCE? That will be the end of your employer-- but you have to stick together!     We can't let them continue to place unrealistic & exhausting physical/ mental productivity levels that no one can keep up with long term & ensuring we will end up injuring ourselves & getting sick.... it's not right! Just the cost of living increases alone are huge and if they don't accommodate it-- then we get the situation we have across the us today-- minimum wage SHOULD be at around $27/ hour & ONLY for part time/ high school hobby jobs-- MINIMUM WAGE is NOT supposed to be for airport workers! You work so hard & have to deal with so much.       BUT, if you STICK TOGETHER & recognize there are STRENGTH IN NUMBERS! That accepting less (out of humility/ good work ethic & even financial desperation)-- it WILL backfire and end up selling out your selves, your coworkers that you love and respect so very much- but I don't need to tell you this- you already know & your situation wasn't caused by you but years and years in the making of employers squeezing another drop & another---  But YOU CAN BREAK THE CYCLE of ABUSE!    It's why YOUR FIGHT IS SO DESPERATELY IMPORTANT! REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE VALUABLE! And if you stick together- that your UNITY IS your leverage! As is your timing- so keep it up! Don't give up! & this will ensure that you WILL be valued by your employer as you should    KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT! WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU CAN BE DOING TO ENSURE THAT AMERICANS HAVE A BRIGHTER FUTURE!    It is MODERN DAY HEROISM AND WE ARE SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR YOU! -- PROUD OF YOU!    Don't ever forget your worth! YOU DESERVE THIS & sooo much more!" —Anja

"Working people are organized as the ruling class. Banks, Railways, communications, shipping, large agribusiness and industrial corporations, the military, will all belong to the people, who will decide policy by means ofmeeting halls, Internet, press, radio and TV. The work week is reduced, with annual paid vacations, free hotels and spas, free medical care, free educationincluding university, culture by and for the people, equality for women in economic, cultural and political life, child care centers. Unemployment is done away with, trade unions assure that workers cannot be fired, the State pays pensions and disability compensation, there is a distribution of housing so that homelessness is done away with, rent is less than 5% of income, all debts are canceled. War propaganda will be outlawed, as will war itself. Poverty will be ended with the recovery of the vast resources now wasted in war production, corporate profits and the extravagant lifestyles of the filthy rich. Production increases, science and technology are advanced, and the environment is protected. With capitalism gone, crime will begin to disappear. It is the profit system that corrupts and breeds crime." —Antonio

"If the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation it would be over $20 today.  The reason Trump won the election and Sanders nearly won the Democratic primary race was that we have ignored the legitimate needs of the middle and lower middle classes for 3 or more decades.  No democracy survives in the absence of a vibrant middle class and ours has dipped below the 50% level.  Any real statesperson would see to it that his/her constituents were fairly treated and this is the most necessary first step." —Cliff
