We're in a #classstruggle. If your #class doesn't #struggle effectively, the other class gains power over yours & enriches itself at your expense.

The #workingclass is losing hard right now because both #Democrats & #Republicans work for the other class.

Fun fact: there's countless folk songs about the lives and welfare of workers being exploited by business leaders who hoard all the wealth while others suffer, that are just as relevant today!

#50501Chicago proudly endorses the May 1 International Workers’ Day march, led by the @ConsejoDeResistencia and a coalition of over 140 #Chicago organizations!

We stand with #immigrant #workers. Workers and the #people. We oppose mass deportations. We reject the authoritarian attacks of Trump and Musk.

This is a united, nonviolent front. See you May 1.

Nor for the first time companies have reduced their contributions (by an inflation adjusted 30% over the past 3 years) when interest rates have been rising & future liabilities are again fully covered.

However, the continued closure of DB schemes to be replaced by defined contribution pensions has also likely contributed to this funding drop, as pension risk(s) are passed to workers.

Companies are reducing staff benefits quietly (which is reducing pay, really)!
