Outside the Walmart store in Secaucus, Candace Wagner, the SWP’s candidate for lieutenant governor, spoke to Shanice Williams, a 32-year-old postal worker. Williams said that after a couple of years of work she still doesn’t have a permanent position. She’s excluded from some benefits. She receives less family and medical leave for dependent care due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Work can be done safely if workers have control over production and working conditions,” said Wagner. She works on the railroad where bosses are looking for ways to get more out of fewer workers and cut corners on safety to speed up production.
