Support for Labor Unions Near Historic High as Trump Trashes Working Class

#Gallup's annual survey, released Thursday, shows more than two-thirds of people in the US (68%) approve of #labor unions and the economic security and prosperity they provide working families. The popular support matches record-high numbers of recent years after a long decline from the 1960s through the early 2000s.

Unpaid labour you are required to give your employer to keep your position is straight up exploitation. It’s very simple and should not be allowed under any circumstances. If a business or industry claims it just can’t make ends meet without exploiting its workers, then our answer should be the same as when southern plantation owners made the same ‘economic’ argument.
