Because what we have found is that the demands of workers are ones which the more people know about them, the more people agree with them. The struggle those workers have is that not enough people know about their fight, not enough people know what they are being forced to accept. So the more that you can bring that awareness, the more that you can bring that attention, the easier it is for workers to demand the bare minimum. (43:16–43:23)
