It’s not only good policy. It’s what people want.
"In downtown Chicago, you’ll find a J.W. Marriott on Adams Street built by union workers and run by union workers. Their wages allow them to own homes, their health care allows them to see a doctor and their pensions promise a secure retirement.
Go only a short distance away to any of a number of other hotels, built by workers who didn’t have a union and run by workers without a union, and you’ll likely find that employees struggle to cover the rent, are more likely to use emergency rooms than visits to the doctor, and have no retirement security.
The success on Adams Street, and the failures nearby, are much of the story of working people on Labor Day 2019, and it is replicated in cities across the nation. Workers such as those who built and operate the Adams Street Marriott have a balance to corporate power. Most others don’t."
