The boss already knows how powerful workers are. The question is: do we?

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 65s

"Hey, did you hear about that new report from the EPI? Well, if you didn't hear about it, I'm gonna tell you. They estimate that corporations in the US spend $1.7 billion a year on union busting. $1.7 billion with a B dollars a year on union busting. Huh, they must really want you to stay away from that union if they are willing to spend $1.7 billion a year to keep you from being able to come together with your coworkers to build power. Because that's what this is really about. It's about building power. They claim that they don't have enough money for raises. They don't have enough money for more staff. They don't have enough money to keep you safe, but they get $1.7 billion to bust your union, to make you scared, to keep you separated from your coworkers. Y'all, it's about power. They want to keep it. They don't want you to have it. So let's go get us some of it."
