> Unionized workers are the only real backstop against corporate interests. The problem is just like you said, though: Wealth inequality weakens collective bargaining. A union only holds power by being able to force a stoppage of work, but workers can only afford to stop work if they are rich. Without the arrow of wealth inequality reversing, unions will continue to falter anywhere the workers are poor. That's just basic economics. However, figuring out how to reverse said arrow is extremely complex economics. If we knew how, we'd have done it already.
