Good luck to the Posties on strike! The starting wage for workers is below what most courier companies pay. Their work is essential. I fully support increasing wages and ending bonuses to executives!
Clerks start just above minimum wage, $18, mail carriers start about $20.
A living wage was set at $25.68 in BC last year.
Interview: Bishop William Barber "Democrats Deserted Working Poor".
800 Americans a day "are dying from poverty".
There are 140m poor & low-wage adults in the US, "43% of our country":
30% of white ppl
60% of Black ppl
68% of Latino ppl
68% of Indigenous ppl
Everywhere a living wage was on the ballot, Dems won.
In 2024, Trump received 2-3m fewer votes than in 2020; Harris-Biden 13-14m fewer.
