Labor Unions = More Money

A few fascinating facts on my favorite holiday of the year:

• Black Americans in unions earn 16.4% more than their non-union counterparts.
• White men in unions earn 20.1% more than their non-union counterparts.
• Women in unions earn 30.9% more than their non-union counterparts.
• A new study shows that not only do labor unions get more money for their members, they set a standard that gets more money for everyone.

And a link to one of my favorite union songs, "We Have Fed You All a Thousand Years" (truer words, my friends!) by Utah Phillips:

Happy Labor Day, Everyone!
