Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Listening to a Stop the Bleed presentation at school- I’m learning the difference between combat and tactical measures- Why are we all just sitting here normalizing school violence?
