Affordability isn’t only about lowering prices. It’s also about raising pay. @hshierholz.bsky.social argues that rebuilding union power is one of the clearest ways to do that. “It’s high time lawmakers translate the public’s near-record support for unions into policy.”

Affordability's Key Ingredient Is Union Power
Tripling union membership would raise wages, reduce inequality and strengthen communities. Policymakers should take note.
