I am absolutely for the American worker. Let’s lower the cost of labor by eliminating redundant and wasteful regulations. Reforming the legal labor system here. Reducing payroll taxes and the pressure government places on payment, despite business cashflow constraints.
Here’s a true story: a woman who’d worked for a company for 28 years developed MS. She asked for an accommodation under federal law. The corporation didn’t make the accommodation and were in fact pretty unfair with her. They fired her. At the time of her firing her salary was $48 grand a year.
She took the ‘violation’ up with the EEOC. She laid claim to two additional years of pay. What did the company owe her? They were jerks for certain and made little effort to accommodate a person who up until the time of the manifestation of her disease had been a good worker. The EEOC found a violation of federal law and the arbitration granted her $2 million dollars, plus attorney’s fees. The feeling was that they really needed to be punished. Is that a fair settlement?
That’s 41 years of salary for her or for someone else. Who pays for that?
Note bene: CNN will never answer the question nor fault government.
I’m not sure what it means.
Good example, but later.
YES, indeed - and not only am I for the American worker as described above, I know the American worker doesn't need punitive tariffs if we would just do what you say above. And sure as hell the American consumer doesn't need everything inflated artificially. The idea that we need big time tariffs is the soft bigotry of low expectations.....
