A single day? And a weekend at that? Did Trump pick the date? Lol
That's not gonna do shit.
A weekend means that lots and lots of people who would get fired if they missed work to protest will get to protest.
Maybe make better worker rights (or any at all) part of your demands
You can demand that and you should, but the reality right now is those workers do not have the right to take a day off of work to protest.
And there is a disturbing thread I have seen lately on Lemmy where people suggest those workers should lose their job to protest because they have to suffer if they want to end their suffering apparently.
Then help them organize better.
