You sent workers into a dangerous situation without proper engineering controls and PPE.

It's the only way they are going to get the message.

Teachers, fire fighters, grocery store workers, doctors and nurses, everyone...

I know, most of us don't have a cushion to sustain a month long strike... but only when the anger of the public over HOW this pResident has been "leading" us shuts down things here to the point that the PTB decide tRump isn't worth it and they tell the Senate to walk away from him (and for the right wing media to START deprogramming the cult)... nothing will change.
