Mayday 2023,
Buruh adalah Korban dari Problem Korupsi

Makin korup negara ini dan banyak fasilitas, impunitas yang diberikan penguasa kepada koruptor, maka akan makin sulit pemenuhan terhadap kesejahteraan buruh. Image
Korupsi juga menyebabkan kemunduran demokrasi dan anjloknya perekonomian, pertumbuhan memang ada dan โ€˜disebutโ€™ kan, tapi ekonomi siapa yang tumbuh subur? apakah sudah mampu menjawab dan menyelesaikan persoalan perekonomian masyarakat yang termarjinalkan?
1 Mei 2023 menjadi momen untuk bangkit bersama, melawan ketidakadilan dan korupsi di Republik ini.
