Bernie Sanders: 'This is a massive effort to attract cheap labor.’

60. The AFL-CIO is dead wrong on this. Low wage workers? Why not raise the wage?

I know people who do similar work in Norway that make a living wage. FPS, when I was growing up, people made a living wage doing all of those things.

No, they weren't being paid high wages, but a wage that supported their families better than these folks are getting now. I'm trying to see the upside and see nothing, I'm disappointed.

I understand unions want to organize those who are here. But they should not support bringing more here for the corporations if they intend to keep them in these 'low wage' jobs. They can have those in their home countries.

What is to become of those that are going to replaced in this race to the bottom? Does the union expect to get more benefits for the unemployed here now, or higher paying jobs for them?

Unions should not take the view that labor is a commodity as yhe corporations and Randians do. If some in the unions feel they are protecting their higher wage jobs, which sadly some have agreed to two-tier employment status, they are not looking to the future.

I know people like this, they don't care about giving future workers a helping hand to get the same things they enjoyed. They are just getting what they can while they can and getting out.
