    • Abstract:
      Between 1979 and 2020, worker net productivity increased by 61.8 percent, while worker hourly pay increased by just 17.5 percent. FEATURES EUGENE VICTOR DEBS, THE RAILROAD WORKERS' union leader who was the Socialist Party's great organizer and presidential candidate in the first decades of the 20th century, has been my hero since I was a young man, when I took to heart his message that "the very moment a workingman begins to do his own thinking he understands the paramount issue, parts company with the capitalist politician and falls in line with his own class on the political battlefield." ยง Establish federal protections against the firing of workers for any reason other than "just cause", a change that would make it more difficult to intimidate workers who are engaged in organizing unions and negotiating contracts. Workers understood that you couldn't be both pro - Wall Street and pro-worker. [Extracted from the article]
