AFL-CIO @aflcio.org

Something is wrong with a system where 76% of workers say they’re worried to make ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what the median worker does. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back.

SCOTUS ruled against unions and employees: Janus v. AFSCME (2018) Right-to-Work laws Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis (2018) Yet unions also work against healthcare for all, often privileging their own members. There are nuances to this issue, which you can explore on your own.

The salary for the CEO of Starbucks is $96 million. The average worker salary is $15,000. The federal poverty level for a single person household is $15,650. The average Starbucks employee is literally making less than the poverty level for the United States. This is absolutely disgusting.
