A few more things

If all American workers unionized into one huge labor union, we would take control away from the 1%.
If they refuse to share the wealth, then one strike would put them out of business.
I'm not talking about a shake down of the 1%,  I'm just talking about paying people a living wage.
I'm talking about forcing the 1% to bring the jobs they took overseas back to the United States, and barring them from sending anymore jobs to other countries.
Jobs should be treated like a special national resource, and should never be outsourced. People should never be treated like just another commodity.
If the working Middle Class had the collective power to stop the whole national economy if we so chose over grave injustices, this country would be a much better place to live for everyone, not just the very rich.

Another thing: If an employer tells you that the wages for a job are competitive, you should always be insulted . What they just told you is that all the business people in the area got together, and figured out what was the very lowest wage they could offer each individual worker bee, and that you have absolutely no power to say or do anything about it other than not accept the job.

The state where I live in is a right to work state. What that means is that the employer has all the rights and the worker has none. The employer has the right to fire you without any excuse or explanation or cause. While at the same time the worker must give the employer at least a two week notice when they leave the position. If they don't they risk getting a nasty reference when they apply for another job.  In other words the boss could have a bad weekend, or they could have a fight with their wife on the way to work, and they could walk into the business, and fire your ass just because, and there wouldn't be one thing you could do about it. Except for getting up, packing up your stuff and leaving. This law was one of the things the 1% put in place to break the power of the unions.
