<p>We have been writing about our governor for years now. But this exact comment, that he must be a real threat to the left, has newly popped up in multiple places making me that he now has a team responding to critical posts with just such inane comments. Looking forward to engaging with a new team of Darlene Winks. (Look it up Beth, it didn't work out so well for her.)</p>
I’ve been a union member for the last 30 years and even with a strong union there is retaliation so I can tell you as seasoned representative that the striking Walmart employees have been enduring many forms of retaliation so they will shut up and work. They have my deepest admiration because they are constantly treated in a manner that makes them fearful yet they have the courage to move forward and raise the standard of living for others and themselves.
Furthermore employees on any national holiday should be paid double time and a half if they work and regular full time wages for each day not worked including days off. That is called respecting your employees.
Companies like Walmart should have to pay a federally mandated tiered minimum wage based off their annual profits. So a company that profits like Walmart could have a minimum wage of $50 an hour and yet others could pay $8. It’s only fare to share that pie at the end of each day because just like Abe Lincoln said” Capitol is much inferior to Labor for it would not exist without it and Labor deserves the highest consideration and not to do so is treason”.
