Where it Starts

As long as members of the working class don’t get the respect for their work they deserve they will always feel excluded in this country. Because they feel like second class citizens they fall prey to the forces of drug abuse, mental illness, poverty and homelessness. Often the youth of the working class get seduced into lives of crime. And our children grow up feeling unworthy and marginalized.

Working class exclusion starts right from day one in primary school where the kids get overlooked, ignored and made to feel like outsiders. Often in school working class students wish they could be anywhere else but school and can’t wait till graduation, even if they don’t leave high-school with good grades. A lot of the time they’ve been so turned off by the education process that going into post secondary studies is out of the question.

Unfortunately things will never change as long as things continue as they have been since this country was born. Something needs to be done. Our kids need to have access to better education so they get the important jobs they need to change society so that those that come after them have better opportunities.

We need to do something, if not for our own sake, at least for our children’s and their children’s sake. Our children are our future and we need to change this world for them. We need to change it so that they don’t waste their youth learning to hate the system. They need schools that foster their natural desire to learn, and not be resentful of authority.

Let’s do something about the system. If you are like me, and are tired of seeing good lives go to waste, young people’s futures flushed down the drain because the world is orientated completely against them, then sign up with your name to the Blue Collar Union of Canada. Join now. You won’t regret you did. We can make this a better world for the working class. We can restore the pride men and women who work in the blue collar sector once had. We will no longer be treated as less than equal, given the cold shoulder and passed over when we should be given opportunities. “POWER TO THE CANDIAN WORKERS.” Look for that slogan just about anywhere. That is the first step.
