Vermonters will vote on an amendment to the state constitution in November that would affirm workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain, and prevent lawmakers from easily reversing labor protections in the future.

Vermonters will vote on constitutional amendment enshrining labor protections in November - VTDigger
The measure, which has seen broad cross-party support in the Statehouse, would reaffirm workers’ right to organize and prevent lawmakers from easily reversing existing labor protections in the future.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Tripling union membership would… -Raise the median worker’s wages by $7k+ annually -Reverse 1/3 of the increase in inequality since 1979 -Increase the number of people with health insurance And more. Unions are the key to taking on runaway corporate power. Every worker deserves one.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
