The US Worker's Fight for his own self-respect: a step forward

 CNN's Jake Tapper threw out the possibility that Senator Sanders may take the job of Secretary of Labor should Biden win.  It's a great idea!

For lo these many years--70 years just about--the American worker has been neglected, robbed of his own self-respect for doing an excellent job!  Reason?  Make way for the computer to work alongside him or her.  And now, AI technology is making its mark in American industry, too.  Oh, yes, the worker was told here and in Japan and elsewhere that the computer has taken hold, that as a result of his patience, the goods he buys--mostly from China--he now buys for less; and American companies must have to eat the fact that goods sold in America became cheaper due to competition from abroad.

Well, Trump is engaged in a trade war with China to make prices more competitive for the consumer.  His war is hurting both American and Chinese corporations, while upping the coffers of the government, I contend.  Specifically, no benefit to the worker in his wages or K401 savings.

What is needed--the new Secretary of Labor find and make use of a labor union model from abroad that clearly demonstrates that the worker is receiving the respect he rightfully deserves there; yet has been denied him in the US corporate world here where he works.  I suggest the German labor unions as a model; I've seen them fight for labor rights and win big!  The labor unions in the US government do pretty well, too.

Bernie, I hope you sound off big--should you decide to take it.
