TheVoiceOfJoyce What do the jobs #’s really mean? Who is getting work and who isn’t. It’s clear young people in their 20’s & 30’s are not entering the job market. Information Technology is lagging and millions are still out of work. We need the Infrastructure and the American Families Act now to stimulate our economy and improve productivity and our way of life!

TheVoiceOfJoyce The Employee is back in “the drivers seat”! Asking for and getting better wages, benefits and at IBM , apprenticeship in house training. Perhaps we’ll get back to “our” valued employees! It’s a start.

TheVoiceOfJoyce If you want to Unionize with ease, the NLRB Laws that were changed by Elaine Chow, Mitch McConnells wife, must be changed back to favor Unionization over Corporate Power. That’s why Bessemer didn’t succeed. Before, if you wanted a Union, you met in private off site, cast a secret ballot and no one could interfere in your Right to Organize. Union members set the rules of their employment, had a say in working conditions & followed Safety Standards. They were also given a chance to purchase voting stock and a say in Corporate relations. There’s a lot to be gained, ask for Fundamental Change! Ron Wydon of Oregon, is ready to help!

TheVoiceOfJoyce No wonder today’s GOP doesn’t want History to reflect America’s racist past, in many Southern & TrumpsGOP controlled States, they are racist in their response to unemployment benefits. They look upon benefits as a deterrent to work. African Americans get much less than the white population and now they want to cut out benefits that should have extended through September. Raising wages helps everyone. Increased wages equals increased productivity & less inflation. Realistically, until the Jobs act and For the Families Act, child care and many unemployment benefits haven’t reached long term unemployed or workers in the Gig economy. There will be a lag in employment until people experience relief from economic pain and experience the benefits of child care allowances and resumption of schooling. What we’re-seeing is temporary. Be patient and work with your constituents.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Just inTime inventory has left the World with shortages in many products and inflation. I came from manufacturing in the 70’s , we had just in time deliveries & we anticipated our needs. During the great proposed tire shortage, Ford stockpiled 5000 ties. Yes, you plan and just like you read a room, why was there a failure in thinking and planning for what happens as the Pandemic ends? We still need to stockpile PPE’s. There will be other Pandemics. If we’re to return to work, we need the Jobs Act and the For the Families Act to pass. Note: Inflation temporary, jobs at decent wages must await!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Aspen powers it’s resort with Methane Gas that has been leaking from decommissioned coal plants. Methane Gas is 10% of emissions leading to Global warming. Give the industry some subsidies from the oil & gas industry and increase their profits. China & the EU already generate electricity from Methane Gas. Stop Global warming , utilize Methane to generate electricity by capping all gas , coal leaks and agricultural waste. Increase jobs, environmental projects and increase ski season by a month. A win win for the economy.
