Bash Unions Because … Wages Are Growing at a Three Decade Low?
Headline in today’s Wall Street Journal reads, “U.S. Labor Costs Rise at Slowest Pace in Three Decades.” See here: : http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-employment-costs-rise-0-2-in-second-quarter-1438345911. Interesting to note, conservative donor Charles Koch expressed deep concern recently about wage inequality, lamenting “the country’s drift to a 'two-tiered society' that is 'destroying opportunities for the disadvantaged and creating welfare for the rich.'" See here: http://www.wsj.com/articles/charles-koch-decries-corporate-welfare-as-scott-walker-carly-fiorina-court-donor-network-1438490077. He doesn't support unions; and unions don't support him-- but both see the same problem.
