Peter Roff: For Big Labor, Politics Comes Before Workers Jobs | Opinions

President Joe Biden wants to revitalize the nation’s labor unions. At their peak, unions represented more than a third of American workers. Now, after several decades of continuing decline, less than 10 percent of workers in the private sector are part of organized labor. The decline is partly because American manufacturing has moved offshore to escape a less-than-friendly business climate created by politicians. But it’s also because over the years, union leadership has cozied up to progressive politicians who push policies at odds with the interests of the rank and file. On his first day in office, Biden signed an executive order killing more than 10,000 good-paying union jobs. But that’s not the first-time middle-class jobs have been sacrificed to win favor with the vocal progressives who have come to dominate the Democratic Party.

Long Beach, CA Hero Pay Ordinance Survives Preliminary Injunction

Friday, March 5, 2021 On February 25, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California denied a motion for preliminary injunction brought by the California Grocers Association (CGA) against the City of Long Beach.

Economics in Brief: Results From Stockton s Basic Income Experiment – Next City

The share of Americans earning less than $15 an hour has fallen since the idea of a $15 minimum wage was introduced in 2012. But the people still earning under $15 are more likely to be Black or Hispanic women, a new Washington Post analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows. In 2014, a few years after the Fight for 15 campaign began, 61 million people earned under $15 an hour, the Post said. In 2019, only 39 million people earned less than $15, representing 28% of the workforce. But nearly half of Hispanic women and almost 40 percent of Black women were still earning less than $15 an hour in 2019, the Post said. As many as 32 million Americans would benefit from a minimum wage increase to $15.
