You have got to see this video. Two workers, Mexican or Mexican-American, for reasons not stated in the video, were fired. It seems that the rest of the Mexican(-American) workers thought it was wrong, so they all packet up and left. The person who made the recording is narrating, and his language is best described as “colorful” which in this case might mean not safe for work. But you have to hear it.
It would be a very scary thing for a lot of people, and so many Americans are so far in debt that missing a few days would be devastating, but acts like this would be one of the ways to bring America back to where it takes care of all of its people.
These are the types of people I want as Americans.
Update: Here’s a link to details on the strike. Antoine Dangerfield was the name of the person who recorded the video. He was fired for releasing it, but he doesn’t regret the decision. From the article:
A thirty-year-old welder in Indianapolis, Dangerfield worked for a construction contractor building a UPS hub. On Tuesday, he says that a small number of Latino workers (millwrights, welders, and conveyor installers, in his telling) working for a different contractor but in the same hub were ordered home after disobeying the orders of a white boss he calls racist.
In response, the entire group of workers — over a hundred, in Dangerfield’s estimation — walked out.
Dangerfield caught their wildcat strike on camera at the moment they walked off the job. In his video, he is positively giddy watching them shut down their massive workplace.
