The average US worker's real wage is now no higher than it was in January 2025. Trump's war has spiked energy prices and erased a year and a half of pay increases

Looking at change rates in wages versus consumer prices 3-month annualized, in the most recent data... Wages (red) up at a 2.8% rate and prices up at 8.2% rate (blue). So real hourly wages falling at abt 5.4% annualized rate. If continues, average hour'll buy 5.4% less than a year before

Far too often, employers refuse to bargain in good faith w/ workers when they win a union, significantly delaying a first contract. Today, the U.S. House could pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act, which would make it easier for workers to secure a first union contract w/o unnecessary delay. 1/4
