Today, May 1, is International Workers’ Day. Though it is overlooked in the United States, this day, also referred to as “May Day,” is a public holiday in many countries around the world. It’s a day to celebrate workers and a day for workers to demonstrate and demand more rights in the workplace.
Though many of us are currently confined to our homes, May Day feels particularly relevant amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In the last six weeks, over 30 million people have filed for unemployment benefits. Even this staggering figure falls far short of revealing the total number of unemployed Americans. As the ship sinks, companies, by and large, are throwing workers overboard. When they do so, people are left reaching for our country’s tattered safety net, which is wholly unequipped to handle something like this.
The coronavirus is laying bare the injustice of the American workplace. On some level, it’s true that we are all in this together. The virus does not care if you are rich or poor, black or white, Christian or Muslim. It does not care if you think this is all a Deep State hoax or whether you are predicting the end of the world. Anyone can be infected.
