Sam Pizzigati is right. Income and wealth inequality is the great moral, economic and political issue of our time. It is not acceptable that U.S. taxpayers are making some of the wealthiest people in this country even richer by subsidizing the low wages of the profitable corporations they own. It is time to demand that these multi-billionaires get off of welfare and provide good wages, benefits and working conditions to all of their workers.

Steelworkers at plants owned by ArcelorMittal voted to go on strike earlier this week over ongoing contract negotiations — following a unanimous strike authorization by workers at U.S. Steel earlier this month. Together, ArcelorMittal and U.S. account for almost a quarter of U.S. steel production. Steel profits have surged in the last two years. But workers, who object to stagnant wages and rising healthcare costs, believe they’re not receiving their fair share of the benefits, pointing to multi-million dollar bonuses received by top ArcelorMittal executives even during weak years for the company. “There is a 90 percent chance” workers go on strike, a representative of the United Steelworkers told the Washington Post. https://onlabor.org/todays-news-commentary-september-20-2018/
