The Dallas workers , can consult the folks in Amazon Staten Island for advice. Strike , if necessary. Be determined. Unionization is the way out of poverty and monetary insecurity. Do it for yourselves and families.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The poor , in rural and urban communities, are more likely to get Covid and die. It doesn’t matter , if you’re poor white in West Virginia or poor Black and Brown minorities in Harlem, your chances of sieving Covid are 50% less than that of the General Population. Covid has indiscriminately effected everyone, however, the poor were especially targeted because in most cases they lacked access to healthcare as well. Frontline workers, never got time off? As America approaches 1 million deaths from Covid. We should be reviewing our Social Safety Net and our ability to apply healthcare to everyone and human benefits of time off for sickness. Every life is precious. Make sure , while we send Vaccines, abroad, we have enough for kids and others in our own population. A healthy society, is a productive society.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As Unions gain ground in America, their pro Democracy stance is growing to. They got out and helped citizens register in key battleground states where TrumpsGOP threatens to overturn 2020 electoral count. Unions are gaining adherents. Starbucks Reserve in Chelsea, NYC just Unionized. NYC is open to Unions. Our unemployment rate is around 7.9% , twice the National average. Why? There is a need for IT and qualified managers, yet rewards only go to the Top Earners. It’s time to put innovators back to work!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As Corporations pay out huge Compensation packages to their CEO’s , everyone is focusing wrongly on an Increase in employee wages? CEO salaries have jumped to $100 millions from $19 million average while the American employee can’t make ends meet. What happened to national childcare , pre school, transportation and universal connectivity? Still needed to help poor and middle Class families. They’re not the drivers of Inflation. There is a direct correlation between Corporate Greed and Inflation. When does America Target the individuals responsible for inflation & stop rewarding the Robber Barons of 2022 , ushering in the 2 nd Gilded Age?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Managers bring value to the Corporation. Through their guidance, teams of workers excel to produce good outcomes for the company and the customer. Why then, have so many companies fired Middle Managers? Why do they discriminate against them, using ageism or gender as a reason for not hiring. Deep Water Horizon was a lack of good management. More recently patients died in UK hospital for lack of good management skills and culture. It’s time to rehire talent for all Corporations, allowing us to be prepared for the Corporate challenges on the horizon.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Why would the Senate rather have food pantries overwhelmed, than renew the Child Tax Credit❓Why won’t politicians give poorer Americans a lifeline rather than giving them inadequate support? Our American oligarchs are the most powerful in the World. They control the American Economy & Our Political System. Don’t look to TrumpsGOP to help minorities, they’re busy touting Putin’s policies of autocracy! Democrats who don’t vote for “we the People “, like Manchin and Sinema are in the pockets of Big Oil and Big Pharma, respectively! Trust and support politicians who support “We the People “! Advocate and vote!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Inflation has been with us for 6-9 months. Wages for the Lower & Middle Classes have not kept up with inflation/cost of living. When families have to skip meals or medications, America has a humanitarian crisis. Our cities are not being bombed and many Americans, 1450/day are dying from Covid. Our Infrastructure is inadequate. Our kids require medial studies. Women are not re entering the work place because they Lack adequate childcare and they lack transportation. For the Families Act is still a requirement. We pledged $12 Billion for the Ukrainians and that is humane. Why not be equally humane to our fellow Countryman? Don’t leave any child behind. We need strong well educated citizens to thrive in the 21 st Century. Pass for the Families Act and Stop greedy monopolies from increasing prices, because they lack competition. Write your Congressional representative and let them know you’re desperate for price relief and just wages. The poor and Middle Classes need government intervention, too!
