Another day, another attack on workers

They just can't help themselves. The Projo editorial board once again published an editorial attack workers rights, this time concerning job security. This time, they go after hotel and service workers. The Providence City Council recently passed a measure to protect workers from being outsourced in the hotel industry, like what happened to hotel workers in Boston. But according to the editors, worker protection is verbotten!

The ordinance would require that employees at any hotel or food-service operation at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, the Rhode Island Convention Center and the Veterans Memorial Auditorium retain their jobs for at least six months after the sale or change in the management of these hotels or food operations. To compound the nuttiness, it would extend this command to any such operations in any buildings linked to the aforementioned facilities by internal walkways, sky bridges or parking lots!

That's right folks.....making sure a company can't buy your employer and fire you is "nuttiness" according to the ProJo.
