WHEN MY eyes caught the words “thoughts are with Oklahoma” on a friend's Facebook status update, my heart skipped a beat.

Either way, a crude deceit is at the very heart of his “Working Families Flexibility Act,” which he recently slid through the House. It eliminates a central piece of America's middle-class framework, namely the 8-hour workday and 40-hour week. Under the 1938 Fair Labor Law, bosses can make hourly employees work extra, but only by paying an overtime wage for the …http://www.twitpic.com/csi5b2

#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty OSHA Report: 72% Of Construction Fatalities In NYC in 2012 on NON-UNION Jobs! #1U Non-Union Kills! More: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/construction_destruction_0TBHXeEDd7w8ZRd2iwBbzH Please note, in looking for data on UNION/NONUNION percentages the first link I have found thus far is from Socialist Worker. According to Socialist Worker, Nonunion in NY has 40% of the market share as of Aug 2012. This number is extremely difficult to measure as a huge portion of non-union contractors do not keep proper books on their workers. My heart goes out to all the families affected. http://socialistworker.org/2012/08/21/constructing-concessionshttp://www.twitpic.com/cip754
