    We wouldn't need Unions if Corporations Paid More

    By Drewk  |  Posted March 17, 2009  |  Washington DC
     

    Since 1972 real wages, that is average pay adjusted for inflation have gone down.

     

    In congress now is a bill which would make it easier for workers to vote in favor of unionizing.

     

    Gallup polls today say 53% would like to see the bill pass.

     

    Ideally unions are made to raise wages, benefits, and working conditions. If employers throughout America would pay more unions would be less demanded.
