Contract Labor Is Growing At ....

an alarming rate. At this point in time 30% of the work force suffers under contract labor conditions. And the GOP supports labor policies that will just about guarantee that most of the work force will no longer be employed at a full time job with a regular employer. When Romney talks about about ending regulations he is actually talking about eliminating labor laws, environmental laws and any other laws that restrict employers ability to absolutely control workers.

His policies even include ending EPA and DOL and sending enforcement to the individual states. Of course R$R won't tell the voters that. But if you read between the lines and analyze their language workers will see the end of employment as we know it. I realize that what I am saying is hard to believe, but look at the trends and the antiunion and antilabor rhetoric coming from the GOP. Look at how many jobs are being outsourced and contracted already.

What they want is even bad for Republican workers who support them. The movement toward contract labor forces is the most under covered labor trend in the country right now. How many DU'ers right now work for a temp agency or contract labor company already?
