Did you ever stop to think that these "slave wages" are what a good businessman has calculated those workers are worth? If they are worth more money, then they should do as you said in an earlier post: This is America, leave it you don't like it, and go to the guy that pays more wages for the same amount of work-if he can find that guy.

Every day I wish I made more money, but as a part of capitalism, we make EXACTLY what we are worth. If these slave laborers walk into their boss and sell him on being worth more money, that boss has a decision to make: Agree with him, give him the raise, and keep him, or tell him thanks for the offer, but see ya later, he'll hire someone else.

I believe slave labor ended a century ago, noone is holding a gun to these people's heads making them drive to work every morning.

We won't even get into the FACT that the number one problem facing our economy today is UNIONS. Every one wants someone to fight their fights for them, so they hide behind the unions. I prefer to market myself.
