The decline of unions has left workers at the mercy of their employersAnyone who needs $7.25 wages to stay in business doesn't deserve to stay in businessNo business was forced to go to part time
In selling out their own workers, businesses cut hours, made workers fear layoffs, slashed health benefits
You got to be kidding! You have NEVER ever run a business have you???
What do you think the net profit is for a fast food restaurant ?
First of all you have to understand what "net profit" means because from your comments you are truly dumb when it comes to how businesses operate!

15.1.% go to Salaries and wages
Try to raise minimum wage for the first time in ten years and they scream they will go out of business
Oh...some of the greedy bastards will. Rather than see ordinary folks get an even break they will give up until the economy crashes. They would love for the economy to bottom under a Democrat president because their shit will be in a guaranteed fund....2% APR and they'll still be rich as six feet up a bull's ass.
I hate to say this but when women began to work in large numbers is when labor unions began to be voted out. Women never understood unions and that's one big mistake they made. I worked 41 years at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant......I belonged to local 9-288 of the OCAW...Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers. Anyone who was employed there made a good living and retired with a pension. My wife had 43 years there.....she was a computer graphics design technician and was earning $38 an hour when she retired. We have a nice place on the lake with a dock and new pontoon boat. When our pensions and social security are combined we have an income of about $6000 a month. We have IRA's and at last counting were worth $258,000. We moved it from the stock market to fixed about five years ago.......we're too old to gamble.
What is really needed is a global union. As long as foreign companies are allowed to house entire families and work them 12 hours a day for starvation wages their goods and products will be showing up all over the world cheap as dirt. Companies despise unions......that alone should tell workers loud and clear that they are good.
