AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce TheUK is experiencing inflation and one Union leader is tackling it for her members daily. Unite has won 3 of 4 cases out of 300 for Labor. It’s not the wage proce spiral that’s causing Inflation, it’s Corporate greed. She’s going after multi National Corporation and winning price increased for Labor that are substantial. She’s, as President of, Unite has added Economists to the Unions think tank. Graham is an impressive leader who gets results for Labor.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce No wonder America is home to the highest Homicides in the world & claims more suicide as well. American workers salaries keep dropping at $22-24,000 per yr , while Corporate CEO salaries have increased to a minimum of $670-1 and $1000-1 . Corporate buy backs directly flow into thevCEO’s pay package. No wonder American Labor is the working poor. Where’s an EO to level the field and stop the monopolies from gaming their workers. When will workers say enough? When will the NLRB change their rules back from 2004 to empower Labor once again. Americans are suffering on every economic front:No food, limited healthcare, poor education and they know it!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Unemployment may be low statistically, I question the #’s, and employees are still underpaid and unable to cope with inflation. The War in Ukraine didn’t cause our problems, Corporate greed is directly to blame. Change the NLRB Labor Laws to promote labor and employees won’t have to rely on Corporate largesse. Many industries need Union clout to increase wages and benefits. The Food pantries are overwhelmed. When is labor paid a living wage? When will they be compensated for their loyalty? When are they treated with respect and dignity? Capitalism before the 1980’s was not as cruel! There has been a systematic overturning of Labor’s Rights.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If Texas can legally write Laws that prevent responsible Corporations who ban dealings with gun manufacturers from dealing with them, why can’t the Federal Government do the same in a positive way? All corporations working with the Federal Government must give their employees the right to Unionize? , min wage of $15 hour, practice the ESG’s. It’s a thought? What rights would you like stressed that supports “We the People “?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Britain’s rise in inequality and poverty took 10+ years. We started the trend in the 1980’s. They recognize the poor & middle class are suffering, do we? We’ve taken away the peoples safety net and never replaced it. From Student Loans, to child care, to transportation, to WiFi, to food insecurity, we’ve created a two tier society with stressed out traumatized adults and children. When do we reinstate our Social Safety Net? The For the Families Act? Where’s the debate ?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Global warming is destroying our lives. Few in Pakistan and India can endure these punishing temperatures. They can no longer export wheat, when crops are shriveled from the heat. World famine is a self imposed tragedy. The quicker we wean ourselves off dirty fuels , the quicker we’ll be able to live in comfort. Change must come for living a better life. We can no longer rely on coal and fossil fuels!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Unionization is sweeping America. The Gaming industry has its first Union at Activision Blizzard. More to follow as Labor demands a seat at the Corporate Table, fighting for higher wages and good working conditions. Corporate abuse of people is coming to an end. We can look at this progress and know “ the Middle Class is ascendant! “

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Traders Joe’s employees following Amazon workers and forming an independent Union for all Trader Joe stores Nationwide. They want adequate wages, benefits and a say in safe workplace conditions! Kudos. Employees at Target & Apple have petitioned for Unionization, too! Labor will continue to press for higher wages. This is not inflationary, corporate mergers, monopolies , are inflationary and leave a wake of unemployment! #LaborLivingWage

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce: Dare we hope there will be action taken to silence social media platforms promoting chat rooms, for White Supremacists strategies promoting violence? Terrorism & Terrorists should be denied access to Social Media and their groups prosecuted for inciting violence! 22 people witnessed the murder of innocent Americans and millions saw this horrific crime on all Social Media platforms. There can be standards for Social Media Platforms;Regulations. The EU is implementing them now!
