Past US workers had the benefits of unions and collective bargaining. 40 hour work weeks. Overtime pay. Paid time off. 5 day work weeks. Decent benefits and pay. You could be the sole source of income for a family of 4 and pay for a suburban lifestyle.
Keep your worker bees happy and they will be productive.
Today, workers have shit pay compared to the CEOs and other C-level executives with multimillion dollar salaries, bonuses, and golden parachutes. Many people work multiple jobs just to pay rent. Unions mostly busted. Erosion of safety nets, and other public services. Those same CEOs even work with other companies in the same industry to artificially keep worker pay as low as possible by having an informal agreement to not recruit and hire from companies that have this agreement.
