A Call for a General Strike

The attitude of too many employers towards their workers is the employees should be glad that they have jobs and put up with any treatment by the employers. They should be glad they employees to do the work that they need to get done. Without workers they would not be able to make money themselves. I just started working at a job where I have to wait a year before I get paid vacation time and holiday pay. I have to wait ninety days to get paid sick time and insurance. Most of the workers get two days off together once every ten weeks. We get two days off each week, but not having them together does not allow for sufficient rest. I have a supervisor who treats employees as if we are completely stupid. How the supervisor treats the workers is reflected in how the workers treat each other. This causes tension in the workplace. Tense workers cannot work efficiently especially when they are over-worked and underpaid. In many countries workers are treated worse than they are in the U.S. many times this mistreatment is from American employers. There are companies, Costco for example, who treat their employees better. Their profits are up, and their employees are happier. According to what I have read, workers are treated much better in most of Europe. The rest of the world needs to follow their example. I still believe that we need to have a general strike for better pay and treatment for workers in this country. That seems to be the only way to get the attention of employers that they need their employees. It is time for them to stop treating workers like shit.
