Workers, union or otherwise, deserve a bigger slice of the pie.

The workers, yes. The Union Leadership, no.

I agree, but that won’t play well here.

Boomers are proud about getting abused by the companies they worked for.
70 hour weeks and not compensated…

“ Workers, union or otherwise, deserve a bigger slice of the pie.”

Profits are for owners. If workers want a bigger piece of the pie they should invest in their employer’s stock and become owners.

Ok. Start a car company and give them one.

Spoken like a true Marxist.

“Workers, union or otherwise, deserve a bigger slice of the pie.”

Isn’t that the crux of the problem. We in America believe the little guy should have a good life. That increases their cost to the employer.

Workers in other countries aren’t as well off but they are cheaper to their employer and the resultant products are cheaper, and a manufacturer halfway around the world can build things and float them over to us at very little cost per ton.

The ultimate problem is that we buy more goods from them than they buy from us, so they accumulate dollars and we go into debt. Those dollars give them power over us.

BS!
They are already overpaid for the work they do...
