Janus decision was a blow, but workers point the way forward

MGB:_The whole question could be ended by repealing state power to enact right to work laws, although our masters in the Executive Class will never allow it, nor will they allow a return to 91% marginal tax rates, which took away the incentive to play hardball with labor. Don’t look for help from most bishops. The attendance of the Executive Class at the annual Catholic Charities ball blocks all talk of economic justice. Still, the bishops are correct about families, however, union contracts won’t get you a family wage sensitive to family size (not adjusting makes small families richer and large families poorer). That is the job of a large child tax credit. As for workers, their best bet is employee-ownership, where unions will not be opposed to management but a vehicles of management decision by workers.
