John, I’ll say it until my voice goes hoarse: It’s time to cut workers in on the deal.
Let me tell you exactly what I mean by that.
It means understanding workers are doing everything right and still finding themselves unable to get ahead.
It means acknowledging workers are the lifeblood of our economy -- and then building that economy around them.
It means good wages, secure retirement, affordable health care, and breathing room for everyone.
I’ve worked with businesses my entire career. It’s not workers versus businesses -- it’s a partnership. But when a CEO is making nearly 400x what their workers are making, something is broken.
I’ll always say it loud and proud (and yell if I have to): Workers first.
