POST EMPIRE SURVIVAL GUIDE: Create a labor organization like AARP

 Sam Smith - Since 1970 the size of labor unions has plummeted, not only leaving them weaker in dealing in negotiations but in their role of providing useful education for their members. This has aided Trump in his defrauding of working class Americans.

One way to deal with this would be to create an AARP-style labor organization that would be a non-profit not dealing with traditional negotiations but providing services working class Americans could use. Right now the largest non-union labor organization in America is less than one tenth the size of AARP.

Among the services AARP provides, as described by Wikipedia, are “Medicare supplemental insurance; member discounts on rental cars, cruises, vacation packages and lodging; special offers on technology and gifts; pharmacy services; legal services; and long-term care insurance.”

Such an organization serving workers could dramatically change the nature and power of the working class.
