Sufferage, labor rights, and the equal rights amendment are all related because they are seeking class for women and working-class people, the purpose of the equal rights amendment stated that the rights guaranteed by the Constitution apply to equality to all people regardless of sex. All of these are related to fighting for human rights and for equality, it doesn’t matter what gender or sexual orientation it’s all about fighting for rights whether is the right to vote or to work. The reason why labor rights are an issue of gender justice is that gender justice means fighting for equality so all people regardless of their gender can thrive. Regardless of their gender, there have been jobs in that people are treated poorly, not getting paid enough, and also the way they have been treated in the job such as the boss can steal from their workers. This has been going on throughout history now jobs are trying to put gender-neutral bathrooms signs for that person who doesn’t identify as male or female or all genders can use the restrooms. The problems that are still going on are people having to work extra shifts and getting paid enough, another problem is people are not getting into promotions or job training opportunities because of their gender and their sexualities. They are not treated equally as everyone else and it is known to be a problem and the reason why labor rights are issues as gender justice. I believe that we are in a better position today than historical society, although they need to be some change such as getting paid equal, being treated with respect not caring what sexuality or gender they are. Compared to historical times especially from the industrial revolution there were new things that bring the economy high, the problem during that time was people including kids were working for a lot of hours and not having enough money and getting injured a lot, still leading them to work. This is going on today but the only difference is kids haven’t been working or getting injured, depending on what job you’re doing there have been people that have been doing a lot of labor work and not getting paid enough money. If you’re letting someone work on days where they’re supposed to have their day off or not give them a day off then they deserve to be paid more.

    Hello Alexandra. I agree with the part about people getting more pay working on the days that they suppose to have off. Its sad that this still happens today, there are some jobs that pay people but i think there are way more that do not especially if they are workers that are foreign, they are the ones who get abused by over working.
