Strike for Black Lives mobilizes mass labor walkout
A national coalition of unions and racial justice groups plans a July 20 mass strike across 25 cities with fast food, ride share, nursing home and airport workers walking out for a full day or eight minutes to honor George Floyd. Organizers demand corporate and government action to confront systemic racism and push for higher wages, union rights, sick pay and affordable health care.
