(10,602 posts)And so many seniors took their abuse with resignation. What really puzzles me is how many workers today still hate unions and government. They buy into the over regulation bull all the time. Well,probably not all of them but too many. And now we have an entire generation that knows NOTHING of what a stable job market used to be like.
As far as I am concerned workers have a RIGHT to long term employment and a decent wage. A system that cannot provide that or will not provide is if a failure or a fraud.
I feel for all these stories. Anyone supporting a GOP candidate anywhere in the country is supporting a politician who supports workers having NO SAY, NO RIGHTS AND NO REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
Restoring the social contract by force of federal law and mass unionization and collective bargaining that forces employers to to the right thing is about the only hope there is for the future.
If that stance is too socialistic then I am a damned socialist. I fully support FDR Second Economic Bill Of Rights in the Constitution.
