CEOs have "unions".. 70% service economy just needs a service workers' union

[SoCalDem]

CEOs more or less choose their boards, who in turn lobby together to reward the CEO who chose them, with a sooooper-dooooper wage package..

The politicians who go to the CEOs, hands outstretched to receive campaign cash , have a "union" (their fellow legislators)

The ONLY people in the chain who are somehow denied the opportunity to organize , are the "service employees" who actually do the work..

2. Yes, but not every service worker is in it....

3. Well, it's over 2 million strong, but it seems kinda weird to me

You'd think these people would be making some decent wages.
