Liz Shuler, President of the AFL-CIO, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed her vision for tackling the “greedflation” that has infected corporate culture, and how unions can best empower working families.
Shuler was one of the three high profile guests for AWF’s Special Labor Day Episode.
Shuler explained that “greedflation” occurs when CEOs force price increases onto consumers while pocketing record profits and giving themselves a raise. According to the Economic Policy Institute, since the economic recovery from COVID began, corporate profits have accounted for half of all rising prices.
She then spoke about the impact that has on working families, and how the labor movement should best respond.
She also recounted the Biden Administration’s game-changing wins that will deliver meaningful change for working people.
