Great article, Goldy! Thanks for your consistent coverage of the haves and have nots in this region. Not many people seem to care about the working poor these days.

i used to do some work at cedarbrook lodge as an outside contractor-type. they regularly host alaskan airlines and other companies for their various corporate seminars and meetings, employee training, etc. also have a fancy restaurant, not to mention that it's a nice upscale hotel to start with. so yeah, somehow i don't buy his story.

I worked for minimum wage, back when it was $1.87 an hour.

Lasted about two weeks, until I found a decent job.

And I know, that right now, our economy sucks, but if you want to see wages rise, and new job openings, enforce our laws against Criminal Aliens.

Every major company that is supporting amnesty, has laid off American, and legal guest, workers.

All they care about is their profits, not the people who contribute to their success.

let's not round up millions of people at great cost and ship them off to poor, violent countries to tighten labor markets. we can achieve similar effects without ethnic cleansing

Please wait...
