There are so many ways in which this article really puts on display the purpose of the WSJ it’s hard to count. The most important ones are

1) labor organization (unions) are responsible for the meager gains. That’s it. If higher wage earners (like me!) actually engaged with society and organized their trade we’d get the same gains

2) inequality is not earnestly, meaningfully defined as the difference between compensation for types of labor: it’s the difference between the equity in society held by the workers versus the owning class.

this is borderline propaganda

Labor unions also shut out marginal and marginalized workers from their own sectors, or even from the labor market as a whole. The labor income of an unemployed worker is zero.
