We should be aiming for NO workplaces to be like sweatshops.

I hope there is a way to overturn these moves.

We need to stop the austerity gangs because they want 9 to 5 to be as mean as possible. Why? A few dollars more?

Get those dollars from Halliburton! Make them cut back first.

Fraudsters first!
