The Treasury Department has released a comprehensive report on the role of labor unions in the American economy, as part of the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment led by Vice President Harris. The report highlights that unions help address middle-class challenges like stagnant wages, high housing costs, and reduced mobility, contributing to a stronger economy. Key findings include unions raising member wages by 10-15%, improving workplace benefits, and fostering civic engagement. Unions also reduce wage gaps and promote economic growth by reducing inequality. The Biden-Harris Administration supports unions and plans to advance their role through various actions, including passing the PRO Act and expanding the National Labor Relations Board's funding and enforcement activities.
How did you establish that 20% less hours equals 20% les productivity?
Have you even read the studies on the subject?
Because in a factory you literally turn out widgets based on floor design and hours worked. If the workers work less hours, you have less throughput. So you either lose productivity or hire more workers. These are not white collar jobs where you have wasted time...they literally install widgets with the same motion all day. What papers have you read on factory productivity and industrial engineering that led you to believe that factory workers were sandbagging and could turn out 20% more if only they had another day off?
