 then comes the meat

a drum roll  for pri sec big box low wage job unionization

 

why ?

 

the pub sec fish can only swim for long

 in a highly  pri sec organized lake :

 

 

"Once again, the facts speak for themselves: Unions are the first and last line of defense for America's workers."

 

"According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, growth in union workers' average hourly pay and total benefits far outpaced those of non-union members in the first quarter of 2013."

 

 

"In fact, wages and salaries of union-represented workers grew 4.3 percent in the first quarter of 2013, while those of non-union employees rose 0.8 percent."

 

extrapolation please ?

 

 

prior facts trail ?

 

"

 

"According to CAP, one of the keys to boosting a stagnant middle class is making it easier for workers to form labor unions."

 

 

"the big corporations  have played with marked cards."

,

" the non-union retail giant Wal-Mart (with $443 billion in net sales in 2012, the largest private employer in the United States) "has in recent months been only hiring temporary workers."

 

 

Wal-Mart U.S. Chief Executive William Simon, " hours flex by the needs of the business from time to time,"

 

"an unstable temporary workforce could  cushion corporations  from a potential rise in health care costs next year."

.

"the six heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune hold as much wealth as the entire bottom 30 percent of all Americans. "



"The facts speak for themselves: Unions are more necessary, not less, than ever before."

teachers and the chopping block NY style ..two strikes and your out

 tested and measured
by  your own personal student charges'
  state wide test results

scoring


1) highly effective

 2)  effective



3) developing



 4)  ineffective........  boing !

"an 'ineffective' rating on the tests trumps the other measures. ... 'Teachers rated ineffective on the tests have to be rated ineffective overall. Even a glowing teacher with great rapport with her students, if the test scores don't rise at the predetermined level, that teacher has to be rated ineffective"

'
get that two years running
