The Green Party Way of Strengthening The Social Safety Net

The best way to lead Ohioans out of poverty in the 21st century is to ensure that we have a strong middle class with an abundance of well-paying jobs and high levels of worker security. We must have government authorizing the existence of corporations and providing for their security and at the same time authorizing the existence of labor unions and guaranteeing their security.

When organized capital and organized labor have relatively equal levels of power, society stabilizes, as we saw from the 1940's to 1970's, the golden age of the middle class.

When government tilts the scales in favor of business and corporations, we see  job secuirty vanish, wages drop, corporate profits soar, and corporate corruption runs rampant.

A Green Party of Ohio Governor would see that labor is given the same authorities and limitations that business has to organize, negotiate, and fully participate in the marketplace.
