You think you have the cockroaches on the run, and then they come slinking out of the woodwork. That is what is happening in Wisconsin and Minnesota. I do have to say that the roaches in Wisconsin haven't been lurking they are in the open, and have been for quite awhile.
Wisconsin is trying to enact a right to work law. For a state whose economy isn't on a level with it's neighbor Minnesota I guess they will try anything, but then again, these people in charge in Wisconsin only answer to the American Legislative Exchange Council better know as ALEC, the Koch brothers or the Chamber of Commerce. They write the laws they want passed, and a lot of the times the legislatures voting on those bills haven't even read them. They have no concern what so ever for the working people of Wisconsin.
The thing that really bothers me about the right to work law is that it would allow people who are not part of the union the same rights as the people who are in the union. The hypocrisy of the Republicans who have been decrying the fact that any kind of assistance to needy people is only making the problems worse in this country, for them to say it's okay for the non-union people to get the same wages and benefits that the union negotiates is worse. These people unlike most of the people who get welfare for lack of a better term are deliberate deadbeats who do nothing and get the benefits. We all know the truth why Republicans are doing what their doing concerning unions. They want to dismantle and destroy all unions, because unions have a little power when it comes to elections. The power of unions has diminished, but the Republicans aren't going to stop until there are no more unions. The people will hopefully see the light eventually but it might be too late.
Minnesota passed a minimum wage increase last year. Minnesota has one of the best economies in the country. Now that the Republicans have taken control of one part of state government they have decided to try and change that law. They want to allow companies to pay tipped employee's less than minimum. This mostly affects the hospitality industry. My question is why. Do these people deserve less because they get tipped. Isn't tipping predicated on how well you think the service has been? That shouldn't have anything to do with your base pay. The Republicans again have no problem keeping people down, and why do they do it? They do it at the behest of the Chamber of Commerce, and ALEC. The hell with the people. Most voters don't take these things in to account when voting for their representatives. I don't blame the people who get elected, I blame the people who don't take the time to actually see what these people are actually for, and who are their real masters.
