This first blog is about the article from http://www.blackcommentator.com/310/310_col_review_wage_theft_in_america.html
A book review of wage theft in America.
This is a fitting article considering Obama, has been pushing to get a policy in place to help with the issues of the jobs.
As stated in this article about the wage stealing. Jobs, such as servers are paid less than min wage. I do believe that it is robbery that servers or any kind of job that is legally paid less than min. wage. It states that tips are sometimes stolen. Something that is unethical which is not stated on there. When leaving a tip on a credit card transaction most restaurants take a percentage of that. The customers who is flipping the bill is not aware of that situation. In all reality, if a business owner or corporation owns a restaurant or other business that would employee servers, or anyone who would receive tips. It should be mandated that the owners pay their employees at least min. wage. and tips should be just extra income for the employee.
Our country, is in a crisis for job shortages. This has been in the slow process of job shortages. The contribution of the job loss would be shipping the call centers to India, and factory jobs over seas this has been occuring for years. With, the President trying to fix the job situation in America will not be able to be fixed with a short fix. The jobs have been shipped off for many years. There needs to be a stop and possibly a reverse on shipping jobs off. To, help Americans to have a jobs.

I used to be a waitress and I am quite aware of how they can get ripped off. You can make decent money being a waitress, I guess that depends on the people your waiting on and their tips, because you can't depend on your check itself. Meg C
