Please read this new study which examines the excessive influence the rich have on modern U.S. politics - and how an energized labor movement is the key to rebuilding our middle class. “With the increasing influence of interest groups, especially those that represent the narrow interests of the wealthy, the counterweight unions provide in advocating for middle-class interests is even more crucial. If the middle class is to regain its policymaking voice and economic strength, reinvigorated unions will be critical in the fight for their interests. Any agenda to rebuild the middle class needs to include a plan to strengthen unions and empower the workers they represent.”
