For the first time in 20 years, workers at Portland’s most iconic indie bookstore will go on a ‘No’-Labor Day strike after they say the business violated federal labor laws.
I worked retail for many years destroying my body and rarely if ever getting a federal holiday off. I now work for a job where I do very very little and regularly get federal holidays off.
Quit your bullshit, retail is absolutely labor and it can be absolutely grinding to do.
Work is labor. Trades aren’t the only people who work for a living.
I’m not saying they don’t belong to the working class, but they aren’t labor.
That is the weirdest take
How so?
The working class is more than labor.

Retail can be hard work, of course.
But it isn’t labor.
