Subject: The Real Agenda
Translated, this means increasing the cost of Wal-Mart doing business, so that firms that are organized are more competitive with non-unionized Wal-Mart. That way, the unions maintain their dues paying membership levels, and the union fat-cats keep their ludicrous salaries, perks, etc. Oh, and don't have to go back to actually working for a living.
What the unions couldn't accomplish in the workplace is now being accomplished thru unconstitutional legislation, as a sop to all those campaign dollars from the unions.
If making sure that private sector workers were insured in Maryland so that the state wasn't footing the bill was a legitimate social engineering goal, the "floor" for being subject to the legislation wouldn't be set so that only one employer is targeted; the requirement would apply to all employers, period.
