Quotes that support the claim

Prosecute union-busting corporations so that labor can organize and negotiate fair wages.
From the end of WWII through the 1980s, income distribution stayed relatively constant. But union membership began declining, and the share of income going to the bottom 90% followed it. Capitalism only functions equitably if workers have the collective bargaining power of unions, so they can claim a fair share of the economic pie.
