American workers have been getting screwed for too long. Screwed by corporations that care only about profits and short-term returns, feeling no ethical responsibility toward the people who work at the company. Screwed by an economic and tax structure that rewards that exact kind of amoral behavior, providing CEOs with incentives, rather than disincentives, to keep wages low and profits high. Screwed by organizing rules that make it really hard for workers to form a union and really easy for employers to break a union. Screwed by the government that refuses to take even the most basic steps – like raising the minimum wage – to tip the balance of power toward workers and away from millionaires and corporations.
Senator, do you support repealing Taft-Hartley?
