-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just heard on the news this morning that unemployment is way up over last year at this time (http://www.startribune.com/stories/535/1914173.html). And I think I found one of the culprits... There are laws against hiring people when your existing employees are unwilling to work. Such laws hinder economic growth and therefore the creation of jobs. This law prevents the unemployed from seeking work that others refuse to do. Laws promoting unemployment should be repealed immediately if not sooner.
- From the City of Minneapolis ordinances, which anyone can view online at: http://fws.municode.com/CGI-BIN/om_isapi.dll?depth=10&infobase=11490.nfo&softpage=MCCTOC (This is the "official" site, linked from www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us, by the way. I think the part I like most is the copyright statement that appears to be the title of the website. Anyone know where I can get machine-readable versions of the Mpls Code without going thru this site?) 385.350. Professional strike breakers. (a) Recruiting prohibited.
