Main Event
|
Thousands of
essential workers were set to walk off the job Monday to demand corporations
raise wages, provide health care and paid sick leave, and grant employees the
right to unionize — part of a larger effort to pressure businesses to
confront systemic racism.
The walkout,
called the Strike for Black Lives, will take place in more than 100 cities in
the United States. Protesters include Black and brown fast food workers, home
health aides, janitors, and others in industries where Black workers are
disproportionately represented.

Background Event
|
The Movement for
Black Lives is organizing the protest, alongside the Service Employees
International Union (SEIU), the Fight for $15 and a Union, the Poor People's
Campaign, and other labor advocacy organizations.
Alongside
striking workers, organizers expect thousands more to walk away from their
jobs for eight minutes and 46 seconds — the amount of time listed in the
initial criminal complaint that a Minneapolis police officer suffocated
George Floyd in May.

Government
leaders are also joining the walkout, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer, who said he would join a rally in front of the Trump International
Hotel.
A study in May
found that Black Americans — who make up a disproportionate percentage of
essential workers — have been more likely to die from Covid-19, representing
60% of deaths and only 13.4% of the population.
