‘‘The labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation but enlarged it. By raising the living standards of millions, labor miraculously created a market for industry and lifted the whole nation to undreamed of levels of production. Those who attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers them.’’ - Martin Luther King, JR., speech to AFL-CIO, Dec. 11 1961.

 

What is a union?

 

In the era of the 1990s, working people stood together in their unions to create the 40-hour working week, paid vacations and good, American, wages.

Across from the employer’s table, they made crucial American companies the envy of the world and built the American middle-class brick by brick. Unions help bring workers out of poverty and onto the middle-class. In fact, it states where legislation cripples the use of union rights, their incomes are lower. Thus, creating a more stable and productive workforce, where workers can have a say in improving their jobs. This is beneficial all round for the company, the employees and the American economy.

 

However, that very fundamental middle-class has been systematically destroyed by big corporations, greedy CEOs and a broken workforce. Yet today the very same thing that stands in the way of CEOs and greedy corporations from further greed: working people standing together.
