Texas AFL-CIO:
Corporate concentration doesn’t just hurt consumers – workers get shafted, too.
As @linakhanFTC told Texas workers, lack of competition reduces workers’ leverage & depresses their wages.
That’s why she, @SenSanders, @RepCasar, and @RepLloydDoggett are fighting corporate power. pic.twitter.com/Xp6vY12x1h
