Try this in front of the mirror: "I don't agree that waiving the minimum wage was appropriate. It hurts only those who need it the most." Jim Vince said, >September 9, 2005: 11:43 AM EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush issued an executive order Thursday allowing federal contractors rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to pay below the prevailing wage. Bush is scum. Bush is pure scum.

So this means they don't have to pay decent wages to workers? How convenient >In a notice to Congress, Bush said the hurricane had caused "a national emergency" that permits him to take such action under the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act in ravaged areas of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Davis-Bacon law requires federal contractors to pay workers at least the prevailing wages in the area where the work is conducted. It applies to federally funded construction projects such as highways and bridges.< ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2005 #350 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
