坦白说, 基本工资要调涨.要靠政府吗?
工会运动的重要性,在美国也是相当地必要.
绝大部分的人也是支持工会运动. 因为那是遏止资本家cross the line
的唯一手段.
就只有罢工,游行,示威,制造动乱,才能达到效果.
与其全部的利润都被资本家一手拿走,不如一拍两散.
谁也都不要拿.这时候政府再介入调节,也才有理由.
如果一开始连罢工示威都不愿意,只想靠政府?
算了吧,经济学家分析半天也没有用.只想吃免费的午餐,天下又哪有这麽好的事?
下面的例子是最近几天,我在路上碰到的. 人家拿最低工资的人,奋力争取自己的
收入,旧金山是目前美国最高基本工资的地方,大约十美金一小时,而且几乎是
年年调涨,经济也是好的不得了.最低工资在许多人的眼里,连吃一顿饭的三分之一
都不到.

Leaders of a San Francisco janitors’ union, Service Employees
International Union Local 87, called for the union's members to
strike if the union does not reach a tentative agreement
on a new contract with the City by this coming Wednesday, August 2.
The union has been involved in contract negotiations with the City,
Macy’s and the Westfield shopping mall management since August of 2010.
“The companies, they are not negotiating in good faith.
They are walking in and out. They think they are going to
get away with it but we know; we did a lot of research,
especially for the economy in San Francisco. San Francisco,
it has a good economy,” he said. “There is a lot of money there.
The vacancy (rate) in the City is less than eight percent …
for the commercial buildings. We know there is a lot of money.
We know (at the time of) the last contract the vacancy (rate)
was more than eight percent and we had a good contract.
… This time is better than four years ago and
we want a share of that.”

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
