As people repeat those themes today, we must recognize the meaning, expose it, and say NO! (Ed. changed title from “History on Parade”)

2. Raise wages and benefits enough to attract workers — the market has spoken and pay is not enough for this DIFFICULT job.
3. Establish a float pool to cover shortages.

It’s not that difficult — JUST DO IT!
