Unions’ Decline and the Rise of the Top 10 Percent’s Share of Income
http://www.epi.org/publication/unions-decline-and-the-rise-of-the-top-10-percents-share-of-income/
Union membership remained at 11.2 percent in 2013, though we already know that it dropped to 11.1 percent in 2014 (not shown in the figure). The share of income going to the top 10 percent hit 47.8 percent in 2012, the highest it has been since 1917 (the earliest year available in Piketty and Saez’s data)
not to say unions arent in bed with the corporations and are corrupt, but you are still better to have a union than not.
and ideally the workers control the jobs they work in like voting on CEO pay, voting on their own pay, voting on when they work, voting on their safety, etc.
