Thanks to this, unions have been able to remain strong and give workers the wages and life they deserve. “Without the power and influence that a union brings to the table, the worker as an individual does not have the power to fight for rights. With workers united in a collective force, they have much more bargaining power to ward off greedy corporations (Debate.com).” This is one of the main reasons why unions exist in our country: a group of people is stronger than one. But unions are still needed, yes, without them “People won't have much money and many people will be left homeless and on the streets. People will not have enough food or goods. They won't have enough for activities or what their children want and need. They also won't have enough for themselves (debate.com).” That's why workers need someone who stands up for them and has the power to make change, especially in terms of wages. “According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average weekly income of unionized full-time salaried workers in 2010 was $917. For non-union workers, it was $717 (bankrate.com).” This simply proves that unions are helping workers today just as much as they were in the past. Wages aren't the only thing unions do
