Dear Diary,
At 6:00am, I had to go to Mr. Boris' shop to get money for my family. I work as a sewer. Mama recently taught me after Father took the money and left us. I'm in ''kindergarten'' for now. Kindergarten is someone who cuts thread from the dresses. My hands hurt every day from holding the scissors for about 8 hours. When it was lunch, I had to wait on the lines to the elevators. About 1,000 worked here. It was 15 minutes past during the lunch break. Mama forgot to give me my salami sandwich so I asked someone to share. I didn't want Mama to know that I spent half the money on a pickled herring from a peddler for lunch. All I ate for lunch was half of a bologna sandwich with milk. I was only half full when lunch ended. Back to the cutting the threads, I've heard there's a union going on. As much as I wanted to join the union for better rights, my family needed this money. My best friend, Carl joined the union and his family got angry. In result, he got cast off. So mostly, he lived in the orphanage. I looked at an article about the unions by James Poole.
UNIONS PLANNING ON STRIKING!
The unions wanted to strike for some time now. Clare Lemlich protested that the bosses didn't give them enough money for excessive hours. '' Every single day!'' she exclaimed. The bosses are unwilling to cooperate to better hours and money. They are certain that these men and women will give up about a week. A boss named Sarah Histey said,'' The people aren't tough or strong as we are. They will fail. They'll crawl back to us because they don't have money to buy new things.'' Many unions WILL strike so take these safety precautions.
1; Don't harass them in any way.
2; Ignore anything the protesters say.
3; Don't show weakness to them.
