@24AheadDotCom Probably not much, given that they already make shit wages. We need higher min wages & a strengthened NLRA/NLRB.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Higher minimum wages means fewer jobs. They are only realistic when labor force is restricted, i.e. surplus of jobs.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Wrong. Assumes much tighter profit margins than now. And you don't think fewer consumers results in fewer jobs?
Glaivester's avatar
From @Glaivester
.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Not if remaining consumers can consume more.

.@JB_Cox: will legalized illegal aliens be able to move up in the job market, competing for jobs (eg #WalMart cashier) they couldn't before?

From @JB_Cox
@24AheadDotCom Of course some will.

.@JB_Cox: which helps unions more: a tight labor market, or a free flow of people like #Koch, NeoLiberals, etc. want?

From @24aheaddotcom
.@JB_Cox: #Koch-style NeoLiberal policies like yours are a major reason why unions have many fewer members now compared with past decades.

@24AheadDotCom Policies like mine? I didn't realize I had policy making power. You're WAY to confident that you know my beliefs.

From @Glaivester
.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Policies like the ones you support. Don't play word games. You indicated support for free trade in previous tweet.

@Glaivester I don't believe in further insulating from competition oligopolies, no. You want to say that = support for free trade, fine.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom Except US car companies did not stop competing w/Toyota, Nissan, etc... Foreign companies just built plants HERE.

.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom So due to 80's auto protectionism, competition still existed, but all competitors used US labor.
Glaivester's avatar
From @Glaivester
.@JB_Cox @24AheadDotCom I should say MORE competitors - I don't mean to imply that we banned imported cars (nor should we).
