twitterLetter: Right to work has fascist ring
Friday, Sept. 24, 1999 | 9:46 a.m.
This letter is to letter writer Erik Madison.
Who are you to say cashiers, stock boys, etc. don't deserve a living wage? How can anyone pay to go to community college on minimum wages? When can they go when they have to work two jobs just to survive?
Have you ever been, or tried to be, treated in a "taxpayer subsidized" hospital? Lots of luck! Why should the higher prices at Wal-Mart, caused by paying their employees a decent wage, be any different than the higher prices at whatever place you work?
As far as "American ring" goes, collective bargaining is a lot more American than right to work, which has such a fascist ring to it! You sound, well ...
