13. Change Corporate Charters, Unionize Everyone

Corporate Charters have one rule: to maximize profit. Their charters do not require them to take care of the environment, to have unionized workers, to have a living wage, or to have safe working conditions. Maximizing profit is the only requirement. But it doesn't have to be this way. We could as a society decide what would be required of corporations in their charters, as they must get their charters from the state.

The other solution is world-wide solidarity. If everyone belonged to a union in all occupations world wide, we would all have bargaining power against these private tyrannies. But will unions step up to the plate to do this?
