Are workers getting their fair share of the global economic recovery? As the number of strikes mounts from the US to Germany and Indonesia, workers are demanding more pay. That’s little surprise when the UN says workers' share of the global income is at record lows as the rich get richer. Celeste Drake, deputy director-general of the UN’s International Labour Organization, explains the risks of that inequality to societies and economies.
