Get rid of police and firemen unions also, if you really believe that public employees should have no collective bargaining rights. It's not fair to condemn some and not all in the same group. That will be the issue when this is presented to the US Supreme Court..
That's the point. Driving wages, benefits, and working conditions down so employers can make more $$$.
How about paying productive people more than unproductive people.
It seems as productivity has risen, wages have been stagnant. It's a fact that in Real Dollars, a non supervisory worker made more in 1979 than they do now.
Do you know any non supervisory workers who were working in 1979? Have you asked them whether they are making less money now than they did 35 years ago? Would you believe them if they said yes?
