My friend who lives under the bridge told me about his interview at a fast food restaurant where the colonel fries chicken. "They wanted to do a background and credit check on me!" he said, "I told them I don't want the keys to the front door mister, I just want to fry chicken!" You are presumed innocent until proven guilty before the law and you have the right to privacy but not from an employer.
You are no better off than Tom Joad; they can look in your truck or drug test you and run a credit check on you even though at the end of the week its they that will owe you money.
This government, supposedly, our government has nothing for the workers save encouragement, "Endeavor to persevere!"
"A chicken in every pot a new car in every garage!"
Bloomberg- "Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said he's reluctant to expand the Fed's balance sheet to spur the economy unless there is less "uncertainty" on fiscal and regulatory policies impeding job growth.
"I would be reluctant to do so unless or until fiscal and regulatory initiatives are aligned with the needs of job creators," Fisher said today in a speech in Houston. "Otherwise, further accommodation might be pushing on a string" or result in higher inflation."
Did you catch that? Do you understand that what it is that he is saying to your face? He's saying that accommodating you and your needs doesn't matter to him any more than a truckload of Joad's from Oklahoma. He's saying that until they can set the prices they pay the fruit pickers they'll let them starve. This is a war whether you understand it or not.
It doesn't matter what color your collar you wear is because once they eliminate the blue collars they don't need as many white collars. If a job can be carted away it will be carted away to where ever someone will work for less than you and then whoever will work for less than them until you get down to one ton of peaches picked for a dollar.
Your government is supposed to protect you that is its only purpose under the sun and no other. Their excuses are the same as they've always been. It can't be helped, that's the way it goes. It's globalization don't you know? No, it's not; it's a war! This Labor Day your flag should be hung upside down to recognize the travesty of a national policy that runs counter to the holiday we are supposed to celebrate. If you believe that your government supports working people in their labor struggles then you probably believe in the Easter bunny.
