Bizarre Politics Reports:
Greenspan workers betrayed
A view of Greenspans from the trenches continued by Ray Tapajna - View his Locked out Workers artwork:
The artwork below by Ray Tapajna is about steel workers who were locked out of their jobs for more than three years. The same thing happened last year again and other employers did the same thing in other fields including the newspaper industry. The steel company hired private police to protect temporary workers who crossed the picket line. Desparation grew on both sides of the strike line. Many families suffered many things through the ordeal. Today other employers use a six month qualification period before workers can be hired on a long term basis. The employers just keep recycling the work force this way since there is such a vast pool of workers available.
Greenspan used Adam Smith to foster his economics policies, Globalization and Free Trade. However, Smith held labor as something sacred and the core of societies. Workers have no voice in the process of Globalization and Free Trade. Greenspan never mentions anything about this in his book The Age of Turbulence. What could be more turbulent than this? Greenspan views workers as just units of work whose values are measured in a global economic arena. Human Dignity in the work day is ignored.
Locked Out Workers Bearing their Cross is a symbol of the Greenpsan era which represents the most massive dislocation of jobs in U.S. history. Workers were fired instead of hired for the sake of stock values. There was a deflation of wages which held the inflation figures lower. Greenspan never accounts for deflation of wages in his book. The middle class production worker class faded away. A working poor class took its place.
Recently, 46,000 people applied for about 1,000 jobs at Wal-Mart 3 new stores in Cleveland Ohio and near Chicago. These are only near minimum wage jobs. Many of the jobs are only part-time. The turn over rate is about 50 percent per year. It takes 6 months for full-time workers and about 1 year for part-time workers to be qualified for any health insurance.
The major part of the AFL-CIO union is now made up of government related workers. The private sector production workers are virtually non-existent. The top five employers in our city and county are now government related employers, boards of education and medical employers. All need taxes to survive. It is a parasite economy feeding on itself.

Symbolic of a time in history when workers dignity was attacked
