Why May Should be AAPI History Month; What is critical race theory, and why are conservatives blocking it?
On this Day: On this day in history… May 25th…we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Month, which is the month of May starting with questions and answers with Texas A&M professor Vanita Reddy, published yesterday in the college newspaper (https://today.tamu.edu/2021/05/24/understanding-asian-american-and-pacific-islander-heritage-month/)
For more on this topic, we refer to The Labor Toolkit on Anti-Asian Racism from the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, AFL-CIO. You can download it from www.apalanet.org

Florida’s move to strip away people’s federal unemployment benefits appears unlikely to drive packs of workers back to low-paying jobs, especially at restaurants and tourist destinations.
There is limited evidence to prove the prevailing political argument that workers are staying home in droves to collect free money.

Others are sick of the way their previous employers treated them, or they’re wary of what some consider reckless precautions against COVID-19.
