Economic Engine and Jobs Act
Profit Sharing & Support of Skills Improvements for All Workers
Purpose & Background
America’s 189 million workers are the nation’s largest voting bloc—and its economic engine. 89% are non-union, with no collective voice for better wages, safer workplaces, or a fair share of the prosperity they create. If their grievances aligned, a few days of collective pause could halt the U.S. economy—and the world’s.
​
We commit to keep this engine strong and thriving. This bill empowers non-union workers and launches a state-by-state movement to advocate for all workers - Non-Union or Union - and provide guidance at all stages of your work journey and the forks that come up from time to time. We will advocate through a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated mostly to non-union workers, union members are welcome. You are the Together, you are "Economic Engine" of this great nation, and we would be nothing without you. We will continually work on legislation for your benefit. We also look to amplify your voice with free app where you vote on bills 10 to 15 minutes a week. There will come a time where your voice will be the strongest in the land, because you are the largest voting bloc with such much common interest - better wages, safer workplaces, and a fair share of the prosperity you create for companies you work for.

Economic Engine and Jobs Act Provisions and/or Pillars
Section 1:
Worker Profit Sharing
Companies with >$1B annual revenue and exceeding profit margins 25% above their industry classification in any calendar year quarter must allocate 10% of profits to employee funds (tax-free) to be distributed based on worker earnings as a percent of all earnings recieved from the company.
Section 2:
Skills Fund
Companies as stated in Section 1; must also fund with 1% of profits a skills and education fund, to be distributed based on the by-laws of organized workers under their first amendment rights. This would be the sole purpose of this organization. This would not be a formal union organization effort.
Section 3:
Raise the National minimum wage per hour with COLA
District voters want a higher federal minimum wage, but Illinois already has a $15/hr—28% above our $11.73 poverty wage—so no federal hike is needed that would benefit Illinois. Furthermore the average wage for Illinois is 35.24 and nationally is 36.53. Raising the federal $7.25 to poverty level demands +60% nationally, and the 19 states still stuck at $7.25 are all ##-red; Congress won’t likely budge. But to be blunt, all states average wages from $32 to $42. Keep it in the Economic Engine Act as a federal bump (maybe +$1–$2)—regardless it won’t lift one Illinois paycheck. Your vote: send e-mail to “keep it” or “drop it.” If you wish to raise the $15 level in Illinois, please reach out to you state and senate. My recommendation would be to focus on the second provision and work with employers to fund education funds to improve worker skill sets and then they would qualify for better paying jobs.
Section 4:
Financial Institution Independence
Agencies (like the Fed) and Congress as per the constitution must have the independence to operate in the best interest of the Economy and be led by experience economist, in such things as determining interest rates, trade policy and treaties (including tariffs).
Section 5:
Buy American 2.0
Give Americans tax or buying incentives to buy American products and services.
Give American companies incentives not to outsource work to other nations, by offering tax incentives to them, while still being able to compete globally and locally with foreign companies.
Note: We are still working on the 501 (c) (3) national organization to bring Advocacy to non-union workers. We will provide an update here on or about December 10, 2025.​​​​
