Since 1972 real wages, that is average pay adjusted for inflation have gone down.

 

In congress now is a bill which would make it easier for workers to vote in favor of unionizing.

 

Gallup polls today say 53% would like to see the bill pass.

 

Ideally unions are made to raise wages, benefits, and working conditions. If employers throughout America would pay more unions would be less demanded.
