The Corporate Miscreants Driving the Affordability Crisis These 20 firms all have something in common: Their CEOs get paid millions, their workers are being pushed onto public assistance, and voters are fed up with them.

Starbucks’ CEO’s total compensation last year was $97,813,843. That’s 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista makes.

It would cost LESS THAN ONE DAY'S SALES to finalize a fair union contract.

A constrained choice courtesy of the automobile industries, the petrochemical industries and the military industrial complex. Draining that swamp would make possible a more democratic society

When working people have the power to organize, they gain more than better wages -- they gain a voice in the decisions that shape their lives and communities. Building that power doesn't just change the economy. It changes who gets to have a say.

Republican family values: exploit children by subjecting them to the disciplinary power of employers.

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations
