who created the modern consumer society?

 It was the trade unions who created the consumer society we have today.

Let's get history right - it was the unions

not the employers or the corporations the trade unions!

The work started by those early pioneers continues today.

Organizations like Unite the Union aren't just fighting for wages; they are defending the very foundations of the consumer economy. When workers have the power to demand a fair share, the whole of society prospers.
