Labor Strikes Create Stir
Word has made its way to our town that in Chicago mass riots have been occuring in Haymarket Square and also in Pullman, Ill. As a member of working class America I cannot help but cheer on my brothers in Chicago. The wealthy and powerful continually take advantage of lower class America and it is time we banded together and took a stand. We need to work towards pay raises, minimum wages, maximum hours, and basic rights especially ensuring our safety in the workplace. Together we stand, divided we fall.

I think these labor strikes are definitely sending a powerful message to everyone. I agree that it is important for working Americans to fight for the rights that they deserve. I just hope that these strikes do not become increasingly violent. While that may get the point across, that kind of violence would be a terrible influence on our children.
