Oakland, July 21 (RHC)-- In the United States, labor organizers for the “Strike for Black Lives” said tens of thousands walked out of work today in over 25 cities in support of the nationwide uprising against racism and police brutality.
Oakland labor organizer and McDonald’s worker Angely Rodriguez Lambert said: “Companies like McDonald’s cannot on the one hand tweet that 'Black Lives Matter' and on the other pay us poverty wages and fail to provide sick days and adequate PPE.”
Workers from nursing homes, airports, fast-food chains, farms and the gig economy joined the nationwide day of action.
