Reply #22: Only if unions will fight for a living wage

[JustAnotherGen]

I don't care how we get there - but we must have a working wage across the board. So if that means the creation of a child care workers union, a retail workers union, a beauticians unions, a food service union, etc. etc. Unions for every single segment and vertical. On board. It's the way to lift wages to a point of being reasonable for all. I also want a white collar workers union. Not every white collar worker is an executive making a million dollars a year. There needs to be strict regulation to stop enslaving people making 60 or 70 K a year to a 70 and 80 hour work weeks. There are no protections for salaried workers - so that union should work to assign an 'hourly wage' to salaried positions. No more working 20 days in a row for fear you will lose your 'salaried' job.
