"Employers in today's global market hold fewer cards than they ever have."
I beg to differ. What about outsourcing, free-trade, and no minimum wage in many countries? Those are some pretty big cards. The inability of the average person to up and go to another state, much less country, is a huge disadvantage. It just so happens that the MTA in NY is unable to outsource, so the union is holding the MTA by it's balls . That's business, pure and simple. I have no problem with that. -Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gruss Gott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 11:21 AM Subject: Re: Whos been walking to work past 2 days? >> Matt wrote: >> I don't quite understand your thinking... a business decides what to pay >> it's employees based on how low it can go. > > A business decides on pay as a compromise between talent, motivation, > personality, and the job needed.
