An "F" to be proud of - NJVoices: Jon Shure
Here comes another one of those "report cards" that the business lobby in New Jersey likes to haul out to show how bad things are here--and to use against pro-worker reforms like the family leave insurance bill now pending for the Legislature.
I'll cut to the chase: a national outfit called the Alliance for Worker Freedom gives New Jersey an F on its "Index of Worker Freedom." The name of the group and of the index would be laughable if the whole thing weren't so sad. Worker freedom, it turns out, means the right to be paid too little to live and not to be able to do anything about it.------------------------------------------- posted 6:37 AM :: reference link ::
