Exactly, being treated fair is really the only thing most people want and with collective bargaining everyone is treated fairly and justly.

You could even be a hard worker and get fired for a reason like because your boss doesn't like the way you dress or you smelled weird last week. These reasons are completely irrelevant to anything.

Collective Bargaining is the way to keep good negotiation in Wisconsin. Without this people could get fired for no particular reason. There doesn't need to be any significant relevant reason to being fired. We need collective bargaining to keep and save our rights.

If your running a decent business and respect your workers, then they shouldn't feel the need to go on strike in the first place. Pinkerton's will just escalate the problem. If you run a good business then you shouldn't need the use of Pinkerton's.

This is our right. I'm a wife, a worker, and a mother and I should be able to speak my mind and not have to worry about violence or police disrupting that. I work hard for my family and if there's something that I'm passionate about, then I have the right to express that. Violence isn't the way to solve every problem so I am against the use of Pinkerton's.

We need them for the balance of equality and power. If unions are illiminated all together, business owners would have to much power over the employees. Unions help create specilized jobs and create a way to better sort out hard workers from people that would rather not work.

This is exactly how I feel. Without unions, business owners would have to much control over everything. This along with safety regulations are enough of a reason to keep unions.

It's true that the working conditions of our country are better. Just because it's better doesn't mean that it's all resolved. Without any unions at all, business owners would have more control and things could go really wrong. Unions follow structure that allows the workers to have some sort of opinion on what's going on. It also keeps workers as well as business owners regulated in hours, pay, vacation, and many other things.

Yes kids need to work to help their families but I'm a female worker as well as a mother and wife. I don't need my older child to be over worked. Business owners don't have the right to treat kids however they please. Unless you have a child yourself you don't see the effects it has on your kids and see what happens when business owners work them to hard. If a family is struggling then the responsibility falls on us, the parents, not the young kids who don't have a choice or say or don't get to choose what they do.

Yes my older kid needs to work to help support our family. In most cases kids are needed to help with money for their families. It's not always the child's choice if they need to work. At least with this bill our kids can work and still safe. You can work a kid as hard as you work an adult because then by the time they are adults they'll be extremely beat down. They have their whole lives ahead of them and shouldn't be beaten down or put in dangerous situations that they can't handle or aren't ready for.

As a mother, wife, and worker I agree with this bill. I don't want my younger kids working because that isn't right when adults could be doing those jobs. I also don't want my teenager to be working really long hours. Their just kids and don't deserve to work the same amount as an adult. This bill is needed so that kids can still bring in money to their families but aren't over worked and put in really dangerous situations.

Americans should have the right to do the jobs that are in their country. Plenty of Americans would be willing to do hard work. We aren't lazy people and deserve to be given these jobs over immigrants.

As a female worker I am for the immigration reform. I work hard at my job and I want my children to have the potential for a good job. If there are to many immigrant workers then other people can't get good jobs that Americans need. I don't want my job to be risked just for immigrants. I deserve my job and so do all Americans who deserve the opportunities that are in their country.

But with the minimum wage people wouldn't need to be desperate because they make pennies a day. With the minimum wage people don't need to survive on just pennies and can make enough to eat and live

If the business owners are able to pick and choose who they want to pay more they could potentially lose a lot of workers. This is unfair and unequal because without the minimum wage you could choose to not pay someone as much as someone else for very irrelevant reasons. You could simply not like how the person dresses and not pay them well even though they may have very good work ethic. The minimum wage is promoting the equality of everyone who works hard and wants to earn their money.

As a female worker I am for the minimum wage. Even though they say it may be limiting job growth it's also promoting equality. Without the minimum wage law, there's a good chance I wouldn't be getting paid good. Me and my children would be making less then everyone us because there's no reason for them to pay us equally. With the minimum wage there is always room to go up but everyone doing the same job is treated the same and doesn't get paid based on things like gender or race.

Business owners already have a lot of money. Cutting back only 20 hours a week wouldnt significantly change the amount of money. You need to look at the product you get out of working that long instead of just the money. If people get that extra time to rest their bodies, then they'll be better at making the product which could lead to better quality, even maybe eventually leading to more money anyway.

As a female worker I am for a shorter work week. Work will still get done now this allows us to be at home with our families more. It gives us more time to rest, making us more effective when we go back to work. It creates a fairer economic work style that allows the proper distribution of family time and work time. Women already work hard to be keep their homes going and keep their children fed and clean. Reducing the work week makes life better for everyone involved.
