The “job creators” complaining that ThErE aRe No WoRkErS don’t realize they’re complicit in creating that very scenario... 2/x

...and like with other things, like to peddle lies & myths about the workforce that have been debunked by study after study about emergency benefits and payments provided by the government as disincentivizing people from returning to work. 3/x

It’s almost as if workers need things such as affordable & accessible #Childcare, a living wage (in order to return to work) and aren’t interested in abuse from employers (or customers for that matter).... 4/x

Employers need to examine themselves & their practices as they’re part of the problem. Lawmakers that only listen to employers (& Chambers) & not workers are the other part of the problem.

We must listen to, invest in, and #ProtectWorkers.
