That's always been the problem:  how.

Until the early 80's we did OK.  Then things changed and where we always had people who didn't work simply because they didn't want to work the focus seemed to change that ALL workers were lazy.  Unions were bad for protecting these lazy workers.  The "risk takers" (owners/managers) needed to make more and more and workers better prove their worth!

Now we have a situation were workers wages aren't rising and the wage gap is getting bigger and bigger.

I don't know that we have the political cajones to change anything in the workers favor again.

But that's not the only problem so it's not the only solution either.
