WASHINGTON, DC — Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 31, 2019, at 10 AM U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) will join reporters for a Newsmakers news conference at the National Press Club to unveil new legislation to curb stock buybacks and create a 'worker dividend' to ensure workers get their fair share of the profits they help create.

Large corporations often use this tactic of buying back their own stock in order to withhold profits from workers, and instead keep more and more of those profits for their CEOs and Wall Street investors. This practice has further exploded under President Trump’s tax law that overwhelmingly benefited major corporations and the top 1 percent.

Last month, Brown took to the Senate floor to unveil the newest essay in his online series titled, “Wall Street’s War on Workers.” It was the third essay in this series and focuses on stock buybacks.
