Thousands of workers in fast food restaurants, nursing homes and airports in 25 American cities are preparing for a strike on July 20 to protest racist practices and to draw attention to its exacerbation in America.
According to the American Associated Press, this strike will be called a strike for the lives of black people, at the invitation of a coalition of unions and non-profit human rights organizations.
According to the agency, employees who will not be able to strike for a full day will stop their work for 8 minutes, the time the police officer in the city of Minneapolis pressed his knee on the neck of African American, George Floyd, which killed him during his detention.
Associated Press also indicated that protesters would also be required to secure better working conditions for low-wage workers, and to provide health insurance at costs commensurate with their capabilities.
