My interview with Jimmy Hoffa By Christopher Caen, San Francisco Examiner
I sure hope Hoffa likes to multitask. He has the day-to-day union matters to deal with, the drive for boxing and, oh yes, Social Security. You knew we were going to wind up here, right? Hoffa sees this as yet another step in the disintegration of workers' rights. From the attack on defined benefits to pension fund reform to Social Security, Hoffa explained the process of the slow erosion. And it is a slow process, one that happens over years without anyone noticing, since the movements are so slight. It hit Hoffa in the face when he went into a McDonald's to order a burger and saw a 75-year-old man working behind the counter. His golden years had turned into the Golden Arches.------------------------------------------- posted 12:28 PM :: reference link ::
