Im sure we heard all the afl-cio leaders stand up and say..." we will do our part by dropping our dues and pay so more people can work to rebuild. You are heard that didn't you? No??? ....hmmm that's strange...
Nor have I heard insurers offer to lower the cost of premiums for health insurance to employees working to reconstruct NO, or landlords offering free or reduce rent, utility companies offering reduced rates, oil companies offering breaks on gas prices to construction workers, etc, etc, etc. How about CEOs, have they offered up their bonuses or suggested reduced compensation for themselves to provide price breaks for construction workers?
