Hello comrades
My husband is left kind of let wing. I told him I would like to join some communist struggles to help migrant workers struggles. As myself from East Europe and my husband is English I have hard to persuade him oh you will get more problems. His is not against but his worry about my life.
Well as myself working waitress we should get tips for all workers not only for bosses. I hate when bosses pretending the tips get only workers but is not true. Another problem chicken factory workers from East Europe they get abuse every single day nobody even consider. So I would like to organise workers well no matter what is not necessaries from East Europe, I could do good organisation skills for all nationalities no matter where they came from. But is big But (oh what do you get from this only you get miserable life).
Well sorry my English is not that good but I wish to explain my partner is kind of with me but against me only because afraid of problems. I wounder if anybody got same issues like me?

Being a revolutionary is scary business to be sure... My partner worries about some of the things I get up to from time to time (there's been more than one occasion where she's said, "Just remember, I can't afford bail money," before I walked out the door:lol:), but she understands what I'm doing is for very good reasons and causes. You just have to remind him that there are plenty of reasons why he married you and good judgement ought to be one of them.

I'm also a migrant worker and struggle to balance union organizing and activism with family. My wife hates it. But you have to stick to your principles. Could you live with yourself if you didn't struggle against oppression? You will be much happier fighting and that will make you a happier person in general. And after awhile your husband will probably get used to it.
