ParticipantCA Renter,
See….. the start of compromise – something that seems non-existent in DC today.
In the end I’m not a big business corporate titan and believe Henry Ford’s theory that the worker being able to eventually afford the product would be / is good for business.
Maybe the analogy is poor but I’m not too sure that someone who installs a tire on an assembly line (i know they’re a dieing breed here in the U.S.) should be able to house, feed, educate, et al. a family of four on those skills. Should they be able to eventually afford the car they are helping make – probably so.
“The world needs ditchdiggers too” is a well-known phrase! The problem we are encountering is that the ditchdiggers in a lot of fields have been automated out or their price undercut by competition.
Back to the grocery clerks, stockers, butchers, etc. The industry has shifted – forever. There is no going back.

ParticipantTrader Joe’s, Costco and others will reap the benefits. Union employees, the chain’s owners and retail landlords will feel the squeeze.
Having worked in a union and also been a member of “management” I could never understand how unions think that “time in” & not merit or performance would work in the long run. Your achievers and “do”ers have to sit and take the same raise given to the pieces of garbage that you can’t get rid of due to union rules. Pretty soon those “do” ers throw their hands up and join the mediocrity or leave. Pretty much what happened to communism.
Check out folks are being replaced by more efficient scanners that don’t go on strike or call out. Time to adapt a new set of skills folks!
