We're called "essential" because calling us "sacrificial" didn't play well in the focus groups.
If we're truly essential, prioritize our well-being over your profits.
If we're truly essential, thank us for our service, both with words and deeds.
If we're truly essential, stop telling us we're replaceable, expendable, or worthless.
We take care of you when you're sick or dying. We cook and deliver your food. We stock shelves with the things you need and ring out your purchases. We deliver packages to your door. We keep the supply chains open. We pick up your trash. We set up home offices with remote workstations so you can still call somebody to solve problems.
We make the world run as smoothly as it can during the worst situations.
We deserve better. Better wages, better benefits, better treatment, better managers, better lives.
Stop the race to the bottom.
