- There are only 3 World War II veterans left in Congress. (Lifted from skippy.)
- Workers' rights:
Since the Reagan years, improvements in worker productivity have not translated into corresponding improvements in worker compensation. Profits often increase at the expense of workers as companies export jobs to take advantage of cheaper domestic or foreign labor. When workers lose the rights won through struggles culminating in the New Deal and afterwards, they are faced with increasing attempts by management to reduce benefits and wages. Taking away bargaining rights and effective union representation is inherent in the nature of Right to Work legislation. The only right workers are given in Right to Work laws is the right to work for less pay and/or benefits. This is borne out in employment statistics for states that enforce such laws and states that don’t have them.
(Also lifted from skippy, though not the intended link.) - Stan Lee is 90! (And you can catch all his Hitchcockian cameos!)
- Something you may not have known about the late Jack Klugman.
- Yes, I do have obituaries to post. Later.
