Employers also frequently employ anti-union tactics during elections: A 2009 paper from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute found that 96% of employers “mounted a campaign against the union” during an election. In cases where employers did mount an anti-union campaign, workers won just 48% of elections — compared to 72% of elections won when there was no campaign.

Perhaps you think employers can’t afford to pay workers more because inflationary pressures are eating into their profits. Dream on. Corporate profits are so high right now that Josh Bivens of the Economic Policy Institute last week proposed a short-term windfall profits tax. From the start of the Covid pandemic to the end of 2021, corporate profits rose 53.9 percent, Bivens reported, while labor costs increased only 7.9 percent. By comparison, during the previous four decades, corporate profits averaged 11.4 percent and labor costs increased 61.8 percent. So now is hardly the time to break out the violin for corporate America.

For workers, winning a vote to form a union is only the first step in a steep and lengthy slog. Some employers drag out the negotiating process. Others simply refuse to talk. A 2009 Economic Policy Institute study found that fewer than half of new collective bargaining units have a contract after a year, only 70 percent after three years.

A substantial bloc of economists are contending that wages are receiving too much blame for inflation. A recent analysis across 110 industries by the Economic Policy Institute, a progressive think tank based in Washington, concluded that wage growth wasn’t correlated with the surge in costs that suppliers dealt with last year, suggesting that much of inflation could still be stemming from other forces, like supply chain imbalances.

“Low pay is not limited to ‘mom-and-pop’ stores—it is also widespread in big box stores, restaurants, and grocery stores that often have high CEO pay and revenue,” said Ben Zipperer, economist at Economic Policy Institute. “A higher minimum wage and unions can put corporate greed in check and raise wages throughout the labor market.”

In my own undergraduate education here at IU, they have been insightful discussion leaders and great advisors in office hours. Indeed, graduate student workers do all this at a fraction of a tenured professor’s salary, all the while the administration rakes in tuition money.
