Workers

Robert Reich - Amazon and Walmart are the largest US companies by both revenue and number of employees. But 87% of jobs for Amazon and 91% for Walmart pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is worth $207B and the Walton family is worth $267B. See the problem here?

CNN -  More than 30,000 Boeing workers will vote again on whether to end a crippling seven-week strike. The International Association of Machinists union’s strike has been the most costly American strike of the 21st century, at $11.5 billion and counting. But the vote’s outcome is uncertain, despite a push from union leadership urging members to accept the offer this time around — and the deal on the table is not significantly different from an offer rejected by nearly two-thirds of membership just over a week ago.
