Question for nurses/union members.

1. I doubt this is going to surprise you.

She's 100% full of shit. In fact, a primary cause of wage-stagnation since 1980 is the systemic effort by Republicans and Centrist Democrats (including (but not limited to) the Blue Dogs, DLC, 3rd-way) to roll-back union participation and their support of management demands for givebacks. This is why, despite the fact it gets me in trouble, I will not back down on my argument that we should be ejecting them from the Democratic Party and using labor-support as a litmus test.

Unions increase wages, benefits and workplace protections for labor and decrease the % of profits that typically go into the pockets of ownership. That is why Republicans and those cowards in our tent that we should be ejecting are so very very anti-union. It's bad for their monied masters...it's bad for their ability to garner huge payouts from Wall St. and the ultra-wealthy.

The primary driver of inflation is the massive expansion of wealth at the very top of the economic ladder. In fact, that's the only place wealth has expanded in a decade.

Unionization benefits the 99% and even small-business in some senses at the expense of the extremely-wealthy.

Unionize everything. Unionize now. Scare the fatcats.
