Why is that?

The Davis Bacon Act

There are also the state/local government employees who are sucking

the fiscal life out of our cities.

They get to "negotiate" from both sides of the bargaining table so

their deals are budget busters.

And once again, you display your lack of knowledge.

Jobs covered under Davis Bacon are, for the most part, *not* federal

jobs. They are construction worker jobs for workers employed by
private

contactors.

It's astonishing to me that so many of your righties here are so
damned

opposed to hard-working men and women earning incomes that just
reach

the bottom of the rung of the middle class. Yes, of course there are

exceptions, but the majority of these workers aren't big earners.

And, of course, you never bitch about the huge salaries the
corporate

suits make. *That's* okay, because pushing paper or keyboard keys is

white man's work, eh?

Does Dave Bacon threaten to blow peoples brains out if thy dont'
sign contracts in two minutes?

No. Do you think that would be a good idea? Do you think there
should be

criminal penalties for corporate executives whose poor management
skills

result in serious injuries or death to workers, or horrific
explosions,

or nasty pollution that makes people sick?

No, but you said you admire people like that...

I certainly did admire the the good old days of labor union

organizers/negotiators, where the guys did whatever was necessary to get

workers a decent contract. Compared to today's corporate felons, the

good old boys were creampuffs.

So you admire the extortioners, murders, lawless butchers and
arsonists. Yeah, the pillars of labor.

Those would be the pillars of bankstering, stock brokerage, and
corporate greed these days, Tim.

These days arent them days, when you were rubbing elbows with the scum
of the earth.
