Others are trying to suggest that the amount of Drew Meyer's tip ($0.00) is relevant. Still others are trying to suggest that Victoria had no right to post the receipt on the internet, when indeed she had every right to do as she pleased with a personal message given to her, on the stationery of the writer's choosing.<br /><br />Some have tried to measure the importance of the incident by Victoria Liss's personal appearance or her character, when none of that matters either.<br /><br />Drew Meyer's message on the bottom of his check was akin to a racial slur, only it related instead to appearances. The logic of others is parallel to documenting someone of a minority race committing actual 'crimes' and then, based on those crimes, somehow justifying a reference to her by a racial slur.<br /><br />Just because Americans Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton don't race across the continent to stand by her side, doesn't mean that such a slur is somehow justifiable.<br /><br />I hope this makes sense to anyone there who can read english.<br /><br /><br />Sisu from Seattle!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337895.post-83379029942160050232011-10-15T10:17:38.371+03:002011-10-15T10:17:38.371+03:00HS 14.11.2011 on juttu Puolustusvoimien ruokahuoll...HS 14.11.2011 on juttu Puolustusvoimien ruokahuollon yksityistämisestä. Haastateltu Julkisten ja hyvinvointialojen liiton toimialajohtaja Pirjo Mäkinen sanoo: "Kaikki työehdot huomioon ottaen olemme arvioineet, että kyse on jopa 20 prosentin heikennyksestä, jos esimerkiksi vuosilomat lyhenevät."<br /><br />Tämän olen kertonut useasti: On olemassa kuvatunlaisia palkkaetuja, joita Tilastokeskuksen palkkavertailut eivät tunnista. Kun esimerkiksi kunnissa noin 80 % työvoimasta on naisia, on kyseessä merkittävä tasa-arvoiseen palkkavertailuun vaikuttava seikka. <br /><br />Siksi on mieletöntä yrittää verrata esim. sairaanhoitajien (julk) palkkoja insinöörien (yks) palkkoihin, jos näitä piiloetuuksia ei huomioida, ja sitähän Tilastokeskuksen palkkatilastot eivät tee.Pauli Sumanen, emeritustutkijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415101231024895607noreply@blogger.com
