“After a short period of time in Pakistan, it's clear that drones are not a security solution. If you believe in drones, the original idea was to go after so-called high-value targets, which according to the NYU-Stanford study 2% of the people killed by drones are high-value targets - now, who are all the rest of the people? Well, it's a secret program, so therefore the CIA doesn't have to tell us anything, yet they claim that with each attack they're getting militants. Now we have people coming forward, saying, actually, no we're not terrorists.” PeopleIfsBelieveWellsIdeasValuesSecretStudyClearSecurityPeriodsSolutionsProgramClaimsOriginalsTerroristTargetPakistanIf You BelieveCiaDronesOriginal IdeasStanfordNyu Author:Robert Greenwald
“Everyone knows drones are being deployed outside the US for assassinations. Let's say you even believe in drones. Shouldn't we have a system that would "justify" their use? i.e. we did this attack, because these bad guys were there, and here's what we did. We don't even have that.” KnowsBelieveUseGuyJustifyBad GuysAssassinationDrones Author:Robert Greenwald

“Workers should have a right to sit across from management to collectively bargain about their work conditions, their wages, and the future direction of the company. To me, that's just a humane thing to do. It is unacceptable in the 21st century to have companies not want to do that with their employees and create a great work environment.” WantShouldCompanyEnvironmentConditionsCenturyShould HaveManagementWorkersThings To DoEmployee21st CenturyWagesGreat WorkHumaneBargainsWork EnvironmentFuture Direction Author:Nina Turner

“Workers' wages are not keeping up with inflation. Their wages are not on pace with the amount of work that they do.

“Labor unions have a long history of benefitting all workers, even those who are not members of unions, because everyone's wages go up. If we don't increase membership - and membership in labor unions is going down because of the attacks against organized labor - it's something every single American, whether they're officially in a union or not, should be concerned about. It's a spiral. It's a weakening of the middle class and our economy can't sustain that.” IfsShouldLongClassEconomyMiddleMembersConcernedLaborIncreaseUnionsWorkersOrganizedMiddle ClassWagesSpiralsMembershipWeakeningLabor UnionOrganized Labor Author:Nina Turner
“For the workers and their families, being able to bring home a living wage helps their families and, by extension, helps our economy. Seventy percent of our economy is consumer-based. We know that when lower- and middle-class families have money and disposable income, they spend it. That puts money back into the economy. It's a win-win for everybody: Not just for the individual, not just production at a specific company (like Nissan), but for the greater good.” KnowsHelpingHomeAbleWinningIndividualCompanyClassEconomyGreaterMiddlePercentWorkersProductionsIncomeConsumersMiddle ClassExtensionsSeventiesDisposableGreater GoodWin WinLiving WageMiddle Class Family Author:Nina Turner
