Seth Frotman on uniting consumers, workers, and small businesses

At The Sling. An excerpt:

This is a moment for advocates—across labor, consumer, and small business—to come together. To align not just around a shared set of values, but a shared understanding of who holds the power in this economy—and how we’re going to take some of it back for the guy who runs the halal cart, the mom working a shift before picking up her kids, and the restaurant owner trying to make it work.

Big business has been playing by its own rules for too long. And those rules have crushed too many workers, too many small businesses, and too many dreams.

We are not powerless. In fact, for the first time in a long time, we are seeing the potential for a united front, standing together to demand fairness, accountability, and a better system.

This is a moment to build a new coalition, united by a common enemy—corporate abuse.
