Ärende: RE: TIPPING
===================
Hey Dave!
-> 
->  -> Those numbers are all way below the poverty line. Are there places
->  -> that actually pay that little? And can they ever hire anyone?
-> 
->  HN> When you don't have a job you look for
->  HN> whatever you can get. I have a nephew who
->  HN> lives in South Carolina and if he decides he
->  HN> does not like his job, there are people lined
->  HN> up at the gate each day who will take it. My
->  HN> nephew does custom counter installs, granite
->  HN> and other stone counters mostly, but his hours
->  HN> are long, pay is low, no overtime, and if he does
->  HN> not like it....there's the door...he's got a family
->  HN> to feed...he takes the abuse and the low pay
->  HN> and the company owner keeps the profits.
-> 
-> I can't think of a better, or more telling argument for the establishment of

a
-> trade/craft union. There needs to be respect on both sides - respect of 
the
-> worker for his boss and job and respect of the actual breadwinner by the 
boss
-> and job.
->
The deep south is as anti union
as it is anti gay, and anti change.
They strictly follow the Golden Rule:
Thems what gots the gold, makes the rules.
  
->  -> The min here is $10 and that covers everyone including tipped
->  -> employees, youth, trainees and live in nannies (less a reasonable
->  -> room and board deduction). Hell, I pay Neekha $10 an hour for
->  -> shovelling snow and Lexi $5 for helping sweep the steps.
-> 
->  HN> Folks should be able to earn a
->  HN> wage that they can live on whatever
->  HN> sort of job they have.
-> 
-> Eggs Ackley!!!
-> 
Amen! 
chat with you soon!
