Labor, Management Partner to Create Jobs in Wash. State
 |
Here’s a bipartisan solution: Labor and management working together to create jobs.
In Washington State, where construction workers are experiencing up to 50 percent unemployment, a labor-management coalition is working to push a jobs bill through the state legislature to alleviate the jobs crisis and rebuild infrastructure.
The Washington State Labor Council, the Washington State Building and Construction Trades Council, the Association of General Contractors are sponsoring the Infrastructure Jobs Bond legislation and have released lists identifying which capital construction work around the state could be funded through the legislation.
Says Dave Myers, executive secretary of Washington State Building and Construction Trades Council:
These jobs will become a reality right away for thousands of laid off constructions workers and returning veterans. The projects will also be targeted toward key sectors of economic development including construction of aerospace training facilities and college research facilities, both of which will spin off other economic development.

The world is so overpopulated by humans that it is attrocious. And that is the chief problem. The idea of sustainability is going to become more challenged every decade that the human problem of over-population grows.
Rather than building new, construction workers should be employed to restore older charming houses and edifices that give character to communities, rather than to tear them down and build sterile-looking monstrosity buildings, and that is the key to re-employing the laid-off workers.
People gravitate to the older neighborhoods that are restored, as is proven all across our country, and southern Saint Louis city is a good example of that.
The government, as our government is owned by The Establishment, has a policy of tearing down older neighborhoods under the prejudiced ruling of their being “blighted”, and what do they do for a replacement? They tear down the older neighborhoods and build multi-story behemeth buildings twenty or forty stories high that only multi-billionaires can own. And once those buildings are constructed, that is the end of the construction jobs because those huge buildings suck-up major parts of society and that just creates more “blight”.
We need to RESTORE residential and commercial areas, not tear them down and build mega-behemeth buildings that eliminate workers.
Just remember what happened to Easter Island a few short hundreds of years ago, we are trying to do the very same thing on a continental scale.
We are no overpopulated That is a liberal myth. If we do not have population growth we do not have tax payers to pay for all the progressive programs. I am glad that the liberals believe in abortion and contraception. That means less liberals or progressives.
Anus-throat, you are so full of bullshit it’s coming out of your nostrils. This country has so become overpopulated that we are headed for the same calamity as Easter Island. But you wouldn’t know anything about historic reality, what resembles your brain is squirming and buzzing in elated stupidity so much that your eyes are bugging out so far they are going to pop out!
I can remember what this country and what this continent looked like in the 1950s, and the change with so much over-population is more than alarmingly astonishing, it is a tornado warning siren of immense proportions if we do not find a way of populations around the world voluntarily reducing their family sizes! It has already been scientifically determined that if we did not have nitrogen fertilizer that half the world’s population would starve to death in less than half of a year, because artificial farming techniques have expanded agriculture 300% beyond the earth’s ability to sustain world human population’s ability to eat !!!!
I’m happy to see that Labor & Managment are working together to create jobs. Now, lets see it spread across the country! As to swartogod, if it wasn’t for the liberals back in revoluisionary times, we’d be sipping tea & singing “God Save The Queen!”
For thousands of years we never had any unions or any corporations and the human race continues. We will strive on until the end of history. What me worry? HA HA
And so the laughter of a lunatic permeates the air in this news blog, and everyone walks the other way from him.
