You can go on strike whenever and i am ok with that but it will get way out of control like everyone of them does and then when you are getting hurt because people are going crazy, you will wish that the Pinkertons were there to stop all of it. So we do need them

workers should have a small say but the owner should be able to set his own rules for his business. If they dont want to work for the owner then they dont have to and he will go out of business. People will only work at businesses they like and the owners know this so they should treat their employees well if they want to keep them there.

I agree with this. Money should be taken away in taxes for everyone and not just put on a certain group. This makes it unfair for public employers because most are educating or helping our cities or the people in them

I agree with this becasue I think that if they should be able to bargain then everyone else should be able to. But at the same time, we shouldnt take away all of the money just from them. I also think that we should be taking it away from everyone so that everything is equal.

I think that people need their rights but i dont think they should have as much say as their boss or owner. Without collective bargaining owners can make whatever rules they want which isnt right but the boss should still have a small say over the employees. He/she should be able to run their business however they want it. But also, the employees shouldnt be able to get fired for no reason.

I also think that Pinkerton's will relieve me of having to deal with the problem. If I am having to deal with the problem of strikers battling on my property, then I cant effectively run my business. I would then lose money and my business would slow down. The workers can start a strike whenever they wanted and if they dont want my business to do well they will always do it. So without the Pinkertons to handle these problems business life would change for almost any owner

I think that is true but almost every strike that happens turns crazy and we need them there just in case. Which you also agree with so you think that Pinketon's are needed by saying that unless people get violent. If we dont have Pinkerton's and something goes out of control then we have no one to stop them

Since I am a business owner, we need Pinkerton's to help us control our businesses too so that people cant just go crazy and go on violent strikes. If they want to strike and say bad things they can but if it becomes violent then we definately need them. Our workplaces should actually be for work and not a place to kill others over small things such as not getting paid enough. Pinkertons are needed!!!!

But if your family really wants the money then your children need to be working! They cant make money at home sleeping. 8 in the morning till 6 at night isnt that much worse than getting done at 4. So you should be arguing for this bill so that your children dont lose their jobs to other immigrants.

I am against this bill because i think that if these kids really need the money that they say they need, than they should have to work for it and if they want that money then they should work long hours and prove that they are working hard. If they work long, hard hours then maybe I will give them a raise in their wage, but if they only want to work for a few hours in the day just to get a few dollars than they shouldnt get payed more. If they do pass this bill, it is hurting the children because then i will hire only immigrants and they will lose all of their jobs and never make a dime. They should want this bill to fail so that they can actually make some money instead of losing their jobs to another person.

In your last debate you were for a 20 hour work week over a 40 hour week. So if we bring in immigrants to work, then you arent going to have to work as much and you will have the extra free time that you wanted. So wouldnt you be for the immigrants coming to america?

But in the last debate you were complaining that you needed a 20 hour work week instead of a forty hour work week and now you are complaing that people would be taking work time away from you. And i dont understand why you say that you are against it but that you are very happy if it happened. Wouldnt you be for it if you want more work time????

I think that since i am a wealthy business owner that they shouldnt limit the number of immigrants that come to America because we need them for our company since i can pay them the same amount as a child and get more and better work done from them. This would benefit children too by not making them work as much and letting them get more education so that they can get better jobs when they get older. We need more immigrants to run our businesses because our businesses will then be able to thrive more with the more money we will have.

But I should be able to pay a worker 5 dollars an hour if they arent working hard enough. If you can prove to me, as a business owner, that you are a hard worker, than i will pay you more than that. If you dont think that i am not paying you enough than you can find a new job and my business will run out of money and employees. So if i need to keep my business running than i have to pay my workers more so that they dont quit. But i am not going to pay you 7.25 if you do not deserve it

But why should we have to pay you a certain amount? why cant we decide how much we pay you according to how much you work? i think that if you are a hard working person no matter your age you should get paid more than someone who just comes in and is there for the money. I know some people would take advantage of not paying there workers alot of money but than their business wont run because no one will want to work there.

I dont think that there should be a minimum wage. As a business owner, i believe that i should be able to pay my workers however much i want. If they dont work and are just there to have a job and get money, than they shouldnt get paid as much as a person who comes in and works as hard as they can. If they are not working then why shouldnt i be able to pay them 5 dollars an hour? If you are going to work as hard as you can and you are going to get your job done in 2 hours than i will pay you 20 dollars per hour but i think it should be payed by how much work you do, not how long you work.

Clay, I dont care that you are only 8 years old. I need the money to stay in business, and if you dont work those extra 20 hours in the week, then i have to find someone else to pay during those 20 hours. I could keep my employees down and being paying less money. There are 168 hours in a weeek and you can work 60, sleep 60 and that leaves 48 hours to do anything else. So you cant complain about not having free time. That is 2 full days of free time. Getting 60 hours of sleep is more than the average person needs so you wouldnt be tired at work so stop complaining and suck it up.

I am very much against this as a rich business owner. I think that they should work the time that they are given and if their boss wants them to work 60 hours then you should. You can work from 8 in the morning until 6 at night during the week and get a few more hours in on the weekend. That isnt that tough and if you really want more money you are going to have to work for it. Maybe children should be a little less than adults but they should still work more than 40 hours if they need the money.
