Lazy isn't being on SNAP.

Lazy is when you've got a good company, making good money, and you don't give your workers a raise. You convince yourself that you /worked so hard/ and you deserve the windfall. You devalue the contributions of others. You don't share. THAT'S lazy. And immoral.

Nothing subtle in what's being said about gender and race here

screenshot of the Labor Notes site, reading: "WHAT IS A FIGHTBACK SCHOOL? These schools will bring rank-and-file workers and community members into conversation to: Understand how federal assaults are affecting people in your region Name the bosses and billionaires in your region benefiting Assess the power you will need to push back against these bosses Make plans for actions that build this power within unions and community organizations Our hope is that these gatherings can become the nucleus for ongoing democratic organizing within each region, to help all of us to win locally and strengthen our muscles to, together, take on the national struggle. We have developed an agenda outline and some guidelines for pulling together an organizing committee, thinking through who to invite, and knowing when you are ready to launch. The event itself should involve a wide swath of people - including rank and file workers and community members - analyzing power, assessing capacity, and make plans for next steps. "
