Opinion | Throwing out the garbage? Did you ask your local union first? Philadelphia’s sanitation workers shouldn’t have power to trash the city in pursuit of a labor deal.

Public employees, who do the work to make life livable in this country, should just STFU, stop joining unions and whining about pay and working conditions and accept the fact that they're public servants who should just be thankful to have any job.

Striking Memphis sanitation workers hold signs reading "I AM A MAN" (1968).

1968: After two Memphis sanitation workers were crushed to death in a garbage truck, 1300 Black workers walked off the job, demanding wage increases & safer working conditions. After 64 days, the assassination of MLK, and numerous (mostly peaceful) marches, all demands were met. #IAmAMan 🧵

Baxter Leach, a black man, behind a sign at a rally. It is a close-up shot of his face. He is wearing a hat and dark wire-rim glasses. His head is turned so that his right ear is visible, but not his left. A small sideburn of white hair can be seen. He has a thin white moustache that turns down just past his bottom lip, and tiny bit sof white hair under his bottom lip and on his chin.

The 1968 Memphis Sanitation Strike, sparked by tragedy, saw workers demand fair wages, safety, and union rights. Dr. King’s support and assassination galvanized change.
