Let's face it: In the big picture, nationally, average American wage earners lack any real say at all in the economic rules that define their lives, despite their enormous numbers. 

And to expect any improvement in worker welfare absent massive change is delusional, considering that the needs of the average American (and thus the average worker) have a “miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant” impact on current public policy. 

So the problem is clear, and many people are deeply concerned. But so far we've lacked an organized, potent push for across-the-board change. Elected officials who try to fight for workers are few and far between in Congress or in state legislatures that overwhelmingly trend anti-labor. Worker centers and support associations remain disconnected and small-scale. Unions focus on their own shrinking bargaining units. >This is unsustainable and unacceptable<
