Bernie Sanders announces plan to double union membership if elected
Bernie Sanders has released plans to double union membership in the US during his first term in office as he campaigns to secure the Democratic presidential candidacy.
Sanders’ plan is an expansion of the Workplace Democracy Act, previously championed by the Vermont senator, and would also restore workers’ rights to collectively bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions.
American unions have been decimated. No wonder inequality is booming | Steven Greenhouse
Between 1983 and 2015, union membership declinedby 2.9 million workers, as the number of wage and salary workers grew by nearly 50 million. Nearly one-third of workers in the US were represented by a union 50 years ago, but that representation has declined since the 1960’s to about 11% today. Economists have directly attributed about one-thirdof increases in wealth inequality in the 1980s and 90s to a decline in labor unions.

Many on the right will try and shit on unions, but we simply need to compare the approval ratings for unions to corporations to see if that bull shit about unions being corrupt, will win a vote anywhere.
Unions are corrupt? So are corporations, the Republican party, the Democratic party, the department of Justice, and everything else.
Wake me up when you have another real plan to raise wages for American workers without massive government intervention that will have its own problems.
Here is your choice if you are anti-union. Accept what we offer and fucking like it, or kick rocks.
I laugh at all the shitty capitalists that hate unions, because they don't understand leverage.
I guarantee if your dude Donny, was a worker, he would understand the art of the deal baby.
