One of the interesting points in the EPI study was their point that employees power had declined, which is only partially true. While low/no skilled employee wages have stayed relatively constant wages for people with rare/in-demand skills, training and expertise has blossomed indicating significant employee power when the employee has something to bargain with.
I am not buying it this argument that it is the low skill/no skilled only who get ****ed...... a friend of mine who is an excellent worker and a great kitchen manager and extremely skilled with creating and preparing food cant get paid in Olympia...the guy has a stellar almost 20 year work record but he cant get paid a living wage with medical here. He LOVES his work in the kitchen. He is now installing cable for Comcast, and hating it.
That's ****ed up.
