I can't wait until workers and non-workers have rights again

[Crazy Dave]

Every job interview I've had these past two months the employers have been real pricks. Treating applicants like shit, canceling the interview at the last minute or when it comes to the salary requirement part before you answer they tell you, "you know there's a lot of people out there looking for work".

1. Unfortunately,

I think we'll all be waiting a long time to see that again. (rights)

2. They're loving it too

Some of these were bullshit, minimum wage jobs and they're acting like your applying for a $40k plus government or civil service job. Seriously, I literally had to take the same type of test I took for civil service 10 years ago for an auto parts delivery driver that pays $7.50 an hour with no benefits.

3. ..and when that abuse wasn't enough.....

.. they opened the borders and brought in cheap labor to further beat down the American worker.

I had one boss who told me that I had to come in an hour early each day and do my "prep" work for free and stay 2 hours after 5pm to finish my paper work. (of course, for free). Here is his direct quote, "If you don't like it.. I have 50 applications on my desk from other people".

And today I see in the news where Sen Mitch McConnell says he is going to fight Obama on every economic recovery program he tries to start. WTF? And the sheeple just keep marching....

5. Sadly my wife is going through the "well if you don't like it" treatment

The company had always treated her good for over eight years but now they're getting real abusive and cocky threatening her and several others who work in her department with "we have 200 f**kin' applications in our office right now".

7. I noticed tuition rates are going up too

The higher ups thanks to Ronald Reagan and finalized by Bush have made sure that a middle-class worker would not be able to afford a house in their neighborhood or be able to afford a big fancy car like they drive.

Now they don't want and they're making sure no middle-class family kids will mingle with their silver spoon fed kids at the universities.

6. Have you been following Obama's cabinet picks?

They are, almost to a person, "right to work" advocates, "free traders", and deregulators.

In other words, the pendulum has swung, but it's not in the direction of workers' rights.
