Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has frequently done his presidential campaigning on picket lines, has unveiled a comprehensive set of proposals designed to revive and newly empower organized labor.
Sanders'"Workplace Democracy Plan" includes a mix of legislation and promised executive orders, including one that would deny federal contracts to companies that pay their executives 150 times more than their employees or offer wages lower than $15 an hour. The Vermont independent would also push new legislation allowing all federal workers the right to strike and end so-called right-to-work laws.
A 2018 report from Princeton and Columbia academics went further, pulling data from as far back as 1936 to underscore the power of unions to combat the wealth gap.Perhaps the most ambitious pitch offered by Sanders would allow for so-called"sectoral collective bargaining," which would allow unions to negotiate rules and standards with entire industries -- not just between employees and the individual companies within them.
