The threat of a stadium worker strike on the eve of the World Cup underscores the power of union activity in the U.S., and provides a chance for economists to review what the evidence says about the impacts of unions (tldr: collective bargaining works!). npr.org/2026/06/06/nx-s1-584…

The World Cup presents an opportunity for workers to leverage their bargaining power and demand more amid rising inflation and economic uncertainty. With global eyes on the U.S., SoFi Stadium workers are doing just that.

Sectoral bargaining plays a crucial role in raising wages, preventing a race to the bottom, and helping workers navigate major shifts driven by AI and the clean energy transition.

A year ago today, President Trump hiked tariffs to levels unseen in the modern era, celebrating a “Liberation Day” for the U.S. economy. Since then, U.S. tariff policy has remained costly and highly uncertain, weighing on the ability of businesses to grow and hire more workers.

Tariffs are regressive. Consumers bear the brunt of costs, which means (like with any sales tax) low-income Americans pay more as a share of their total income. Replacing the income tax with tariffs would only benefit the rich.
