Let's just pass a law which mandates that all hourly workers receive minimum wage. Anyone who does not report for work - off to XRAY!!!

Minimum wage? Are you joking? $20/hr to change a freakin light bulb or sit behind a desk and sleep? Union wages are just another form of welfare.

I've done work for various union members and was thankful they had the money to hire me...I've never done any work for anyone that was willing to do their job for less money though.

American Longshoremen contribute more to America than the Chinese sweat shops making the crap they're unloading...American Union members getting a piece of the import pie?...More power to them.

Why is it that to be a FReeper, you must be reflexivly anti-union?

If it is in the contract that changing lightbulbs is $20/hr, then so be it.

Is it any less welfare that some get paid 8 figures to run a company that loses money? If the board is dumb enough to pay them the money, then so be it.

H1B software engineers earn less than that....

to the detriment of US workers.
