Joe Hill moved to America from Sweden at age 23 in 1902. He worked as a traveling day laborer, taught himself English, and preceded to write PROTEST SONGS SO SCATHING AND EFFECTIVE that copper magnates had him tried on false charges and killed only 4 years into his songwriting career. His final words were "Don't mourn. Organize" And people did.
We gotta do better here, folks. And not with no AI generation. Pen to paper. Let's go!

The current #juniorwages system means big businesses like #Coles #Maccas and #Woolies are taking $3.5 billion off young workers every year 😤 And it doesn't end there! Young workers under 18 don't earn #superannuation (unless they work full time) and our young #apprentices are still not earning enough to get by!
