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 As War continues in Ukraine , the World can’t forget we have a climate crisis to deal with. As TRUMPSGOP want to increase drilling for oil, the IPCC warns we must implement steps now, to maintain a Global temperature of a 1.5 degree Celsius rise. Right now, 5.7 million People in America must leave their homes for higher ground. In Houston, those living on the Bayous are being bought out of their homes and moved to new communities. As the sea levels rise 13 million Americans will be migrating across the Country to drier safer land. Let’s assure we’ve preserved water for them to drink and live. Our World must end the War in Ukraine quickly so we can concentrate on Climate Change & Covid.

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.

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 The latest configuration of the Supreme Court gives rights to States over the rights of the Federal Government. I’m not sure this is legal. Creating fiefdoms concentrates power and money in a few hands. The new Republicans value Profit over People. Elect and vote for individuals who represent all citizens, don’t be frustrated. Get involved and start election reforms and campaign to register everyone.
