Prime Minister Carney: You’ve brought some of the world’s wealthiest investors to Toronto. Now make sure workers see the benefit. That means investment in good jobs here at home, strong communities, and a better future for working people.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
