1. La Correlación Histórica entre Sindicatos y Equidad.
Existe un consenso recurrente en el documento sobre la relación inversa entre la fuerza sindical y la desigualdad económica, especialmente en Estados Unidos.
- Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest and share to lower 90 percent highest when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. We must build back union power.
- The decline in the union labor workforce tracks the increase in income inequality.
- Historically low union membership. Historically high inequality. Same problem.
- Wealth inequality was significantly lower when the u.s. Unionization rate was at its peak in the 50s.
- The decline of unions over the last several decades has demonstrably contributed to higher income inequality in the us.
2. Sindicatos como Herramienta de Contrapoder y Justicia Social.
Los mensajes enfatizan que la acción colectiva y la organización sindical son herramientas esenciales para que los trabajadores negocien salarios justos, protejan sus derechos y obtengan una mayor parte de las ganancias de productividad, contrarrestando el poder corporativo.
- Collective bargaining is another way to fight income inequality.
- Unions are one of the few institutions of power that are consistently fighting this horrific state of affairs.
- Unions are the most effective tool against ruling class inequality.
- Unions are democratically run organizations, the most powerful and effective counterbalance to corporate money and power in american democracy.
- Unions are working peoples strongest lever of power in the fight against a billionaire oligarchy and historic levels of income and wealth inequality.
3. Impacto de los Sindicatos en la Distribución del Ingreso y la Sociedad.
Se destaca que los beneficios de la organización laboral se extienden más allá de los miembros sindicalizados, mejorando las condiciones para todos los trabajadores y promoviendo la solidaridad y la equidad, incluyendo entre diferentes grupos étnicos.
- Income inequality shrinks when unions grow!
- Union gains tend to result in higher wages for non union labor.
- Diversity and strong unions go hand in hand. When income inequality is diminished, workers are more likely to feel solidarity with one another instead of blaming low wages on those outside their ethnic group.
- Unions dont just lift workersthey lift entire communities.
- Strengthening collective labor rights can help reduce economic inequality.
4. Llamados a la Acción y Soluciones Propuestas.
El contenido principal impulsa a la acción directa, como la organización en el lugar de trabajo, el apoyo a legislación pro-trabajadores (como la PRO Act) y, en algunos casos, la consideración de medidas más radicales como la huelga general para revertir la tendencia actual.
- Join a union, organize your work place, start a union.
- We must build back union power.
- I am proud to support the pro act to protect employees rights to collectively bargain.
- General strike to change that forever.
- If youre really mad about it, look at unionizing your own shop.
