Next week, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on the PRO Act, which would strengthen workers’ rights to come together in union. Over the last 40 years, unions have been under attack, which has resulted in an increase in income inequality as more and more income goes to the top 1%.

The launch of these destabilizing trends can be traced back to the early 1980s with failed Reaganomics theories and "trickle down" economics. Each decade since, the rich have gotten richer and the middle class has continued to collapse.
