ALSO: Help me verify that in 2003 the GPI index for the minimum wage earners was to be paid at $10.77
What is the minimum salary now, again? What year are we in? What are Small Businesses, that I do wish better profitability for, tied to?
UPDATE: FEB. 23, 2011
WHO DOES WALKER WORK FOR, WISCONSON?
FEB. 25, 2011 UPDATE: THE GOP WILL DO AS THEY PLEASE; THE PEOPLE DO NOT MATTER.
THE GOP'S PLAN OF ATTACK
UDATE: FEB. 26, 2011 . GOP LIES EXPOSED-THEY EAT THEIR OWN
"Johnston goes on to point out that Governor Walker has gotten away with this false narrative because journalists have failed to look closely at how employee pension plans work and have simply accepted the Governor’s word for it. Because of this, those who wish the unions ill have been able to seize on that narrative to score points by running ads and spreading the word that state employees pay next to nothing for their pensions and that it is all a big taxpayer give-away"
UDATE: FEB. 27, 2011. DO YOU BUY ANYTHING THE GOP SAYS NOW?
I am very glad to hear that there has been some respect between the Police, and the rest of the protestors, who also will be affected by this outlandish GOP proposal. People on this very NIGHT are dressed in TUXES AND BOW TIES laughing and drinking their wine, remarking at the dilema. Are they with your families day and night , scrubbing the floors or cooking for a family of 8? Are they waiting to see if THEIR PAYCHECKS will come in and look at them and wonder why it is that you GO TO WORK IN THE MORNINGS OR EVENINGS? PAY THE "PEOPLE" THEIR ATTENTIONS AND RESPECT.
AND "WE THE PEOPLE" THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO DO GOOD
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in ANY sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we OURSELVES are being comforted by God.....Now whether we are in tribulation, it is for YOUR comfort and salvation; or wether we are being comforted, it is for your comfort that operates to make you endure the same sufferings that we also suffer. And so our hope for you is unwavering, knowing as we do that, just as YOU are sharers of the sufferings, in the same way YOU will also share in the comfort" .- Bible
Large businesses go by the un-written hire and fire rule:
ReplyDeleteWhen they ask for a raise, hire another monkey to get trained by YOU.
Collective bargaining can only be FAIR if the unions gain and lose benefits based on the profits and losses of the company.
ReplyDeleteAs for the workplace being "equal", those who INVEST more in the workplace SHOULD receive more, including better working conditions.
OSHA already insures the safety of the workplace. If YOU have to work in a hot, noisy boiler room and I have to work in a nice quiet office with a secretary, SIN LOI, futhermucker, RHIP!
@ blackindependent. Don't you see who holds the majority of corporate votes. The top 10 % does; this is where the money comes from, right? FROM THE PEOPLE THAT CAN AFFORD TO BUY THE STOCK.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have a RIGHT to work anywhere you want. If I invest my own money in a stock, I SHOULD reap the rewards BEFORE you. You don't lose anything if your companyis not profitable, you just keep going to work and getting paid every two weeks. The stockholders may lose with every check you receive. It would be OK with me if a company laid off people every payday to keep from losing money.
ReplyDeleteBusinesses are not charities. They exist to make a profit. I hve no problem with that. I guess that i s because I am a job CREATOR, not a job seeker.
