1. sent it to my technical university students

I'm glad somebody put this together. That's exactly what this is: a cartel to bring down labor rates in this country.

I sent it to 30 technical university students and also alerted some faculty people to it, too.

Some of the links don't work, though. Hope they get those fixed soon.

2. Started during Reagan?

Great post and links.

Do you remember when Reagan first became president groups of businessmen met to organize a strategy to fight unions?

Now every American is treated as the enemy. No more fulfilling jobs where we meet wonderful people and accomplish something, just hard time at Wal-mart where our every move is micromanaged.

God how I hate this!!!!

3. Fits my situation precisely

Lost a job in Mar 2001. Since then I've had 20 months of unemployment and 3 years with no health insurance. Took a 25% cut in pay and have only been able to find work as a contract. Surrounded by people trained in other countries... Where'd my job go?
