    You’re overlooking the hundreds of thousands of everyday salaried workers being laid off in the last couple years by drawing a line that doesn’t exist between them and vague “hourly” workers you describe here - I have a good friend in an hourly position that makes $60/ hr with good benefits, and one that makes around $40/hr with crap benefits from his salaried position, both were laid off for no reason last year in one of these rounds of indiscriminate, unjustified firings solely to juice stock dividends.

    No reason to not full court press on this issue FROM ALL WORKERS- labor needs to be unionized, PERIOD - McDonalds or Microsoft, all of it. Nobody is even talking about the relatively non-existent number of people in the c suite here? HUGE ocean between them and the salaried workers at their companies.
