Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Thanks, Peace. Most of the poor are laborers. And the Labor movement is first and foremost about human rights The social conditions that foster poverty and the the existence of a large number of the working poor are human rights issues. The labor movement is about much more than the hourly rate a worker is paid. The labor movement is about redistribution on wealth, health, and safety, to mname but a few of the issues that labor movements address that foster an underclass.
