Dear Boss,
We’re tired of the way you treat us, because you don’t give us good service at all. We have to sleep on hay mattresses and share one room with all the other workers. We want you to treat us with more respect because we’re doing our job.
It’s not fair to let your son go and cause trouble while were the ones get into trouble. Even though he’s your son he’s an employee we all deserve respect. Everyone has the same value, even if we’re poor we still value for something. If your son goes and gets us in trouble he puts our jobs in stake. We can easily get fired if we mess with your son and it’s not fair especially during this time. Since its really hard to find jobs around here, life isn’t easy we know but we at least want the same opportunity as your son.
Candy, for example he’s old and he won’t get any younger. He’s not strong enough for those tasks that we do. He should be treated with more respect because he doesn’t have the advantages we have. Also Crooks shouldn’t be judged because of his race. He is a worker that works as hard as us and he doesn’t deserve that poor judgement you give him. He might work for you but you can’t treat him badly were all people.
We barely have time for ourselves, little breaks, while we're working all day. We deserve more time for ourselves. Some workers want to visit family members or go out and spend their money they just earned. We can just be working all day what happens if someone gets injured or sick. You can’t just fire them because they can’t work anymore.
We need more time for ourselves, to take care of our needs. We deserve more personal space not every worker in one room. That’s very uncomfortable, we need more space and better beds. We want a good nights of sleep if were going to wake really early and work all day. Also the elderly deserve better quality. They aren’t as strong or fit as we are.They can easily get hurt or sick. These are some ideas for better working conditions.
