The fact that so many Americans are facing dire circumstances now is a direct result of the exploitation economy and we should take this opportunity to change it.

It’s well past time we joined the civilized world by giving workers federally mandated, paid sick leave. Our health and our lives depend on it.

Back during the Great Recession, we bailed out Wall Street. This time, we need to make sure the bailout is for the rest of us.

Workers not only create pressure to reform laws and regulation. They can influence the strategies for enforcing labor standards too.
