History

Historical Context

The 1935 Wagner Act strengthened labor unions in the U.S., granting workers the right to organize and bargain collectively. By 1945, union membership surged to over 10 million. Today’s "Workers Over Billionaires" protests reflect this ongoing struggle, as activists challenge policies favoring the wealthy, potentially reshaping future labor policies and the political landscape in the United States.
