Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

What if we just made a rule like any company that uses a majority of robot "labor" has to pay a full 70% of the profits to the government to bring about UBI?
Who votes against veteran's benefits? REPUBLICANS
Who keeps re-electing them?
Veterans & union members.
The wealthy have soaked up 64% of productivity increases and hoarded it to form their own microsociety.
Imagine what could be done with all that created wealth!
We need to reclaim it and improve public works!
I was a union leader during Clinton’s time and he was not the president that Joe Biden was for labor.
We had the opportunity to outlaw permanent replacement for striking workers and you guys shit on us! STFU!
I believe you know many of them, could you give them a ring? Would you mention too that repetition, not just over one day, but over a long time works.
Dad was a teamster before leaving to own a funeral home.
No, no mob ties in rural Nebr.
But, I've watched family negotiate union contracts for both sides. They definitely leverage power to help the powerless ❤️

Yes, I can work it out, but all graphs should be clearly labelled. Thank you.
Owners and execs OWN 2-3 houses and employees can’t qualify for a starter home loan.
Yes, raise taxes on the wealthy but, ye gods, fix wage inequality.
Unions. A pain but necessary.

Accept any worker in any industry. Up to 150 million prospective members.
THAT would be a game changer for Labor in the US.

...if we haven't completely lost everything..
Throw in Captain Brain Worm and it's going to be a disaster.
See where pushing for certain presidencies got Unions? Stay neutral, fight for member and worker rights, no matter what those needs are.
