Don’t worry, Don, the “essential workers” won’t be affected.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

More context, he said this on June 19th, the day Juneteenth is celebrated across America.
It's a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in America.
He obviously doesn't want any holidays related to black people to be celebrated.
You guys are getting days off?
Orangeboi staying true to form and leaning into the idiotic, inaccurate, archaic, and racist “lazy people of color” trope, I see. And on Juneteenth, too. I’m sure that’s part of the subtext he was going for.
This is the first trump post where I saw the members of r/conservative unanimously against the president.
Too bad they'll still support him anyway..
keep up the talk fat man and we'll have a paid holiday for every finger and toe we cut off.
Don't these holidays cost owners rather than workers, though?
I used to love working holidays as a single guy for that double pay. 🤑
No holidays means only 1x pay 👎 nevermind if you just wanted to take the day off without getting docked.
Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.
I do hate holidays as a working stiff:
They exist only as a foil to working days- once working days are eliminated, so too will holidays be.
