50 ways Twit has screwed workers

Ok, that's my title for a recent Economic Policy Institute study. Workers know they are continuing to get screwed big time under this Presidunce. Remember that when you vote. I've copied just a few of the headlines below. See the details at the link. Note when they say 'it' they mean Twit's Disadministration. Although 'it' is the proper pronoun when referring to Twit.

1. It has failed to support adequate fiscal stimulus during the coronavirus pandemic.

2. It has diminished the integrity and accuracy of the 2020 U.S. Census.

3. It stopped funding for Social Security.

5. It has engaged in persistent efforts to take away workers’ health care.

9. It has failed to act to protect the health of workers during the pandemic.

10. It issued guidance that allows states to deny unemployment insurance (UI) benefits to workers who refuse to return to unsafe jobs.

14. It allowed poultry plants to increase line speeds during the coronavirus pandemic.

25. It has decreased workplace safety inspections.

34. It denied workers a minimum wage increase.

45. It passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act—which benefits the wealthy at others’ expense.
