The Pain Caucus
As with all "austerity" measures forced on countries by various economic powers (IMF, OECD, whatever), the pain inflicted on the unemployed is not a peripheral result, but is the entire motive of the austerity measures. This is the means used to assure a cheap labor force, which is always the point. The pain is deliberate, not accidental. We need to understand that "the economy" does not have the goal of helping the many to live simple but decent lives; it is in place to succor the already-wealthy and always to prevent wage levels from "overheating" (as Greenspan so nicely put it). The rich will only stay rich so long as labor is cheap, and they will do whatever it takes to keep labor cheap. This is how it always happens--why should we believe ourselves in this country to be immune? The income disparity grows and grows, and the country starts exporting raw materials while importing finished goods, and the number of unemployed workers grows, and then wages and social programs are made to crash so that labor can once again be shown its place: to do the bidding of their "betters" for a mere pittance, so that the wealthy can grow even wealthier, and be "properly" served, but they seem to forget that this only lasts until the (inevitable) rebellion ensues. The pain dispensed to the unemployed? It is by design.Not consistent with the facts.

I have little respect for references to authority."Do as you would be done by." will stand on its own merits.

Support for workers looks like a cost to them. They need to understand that those are their customers.

Can Detroit Sustain Its Two-Tier Pay? - Room for Debate
Will two-tier wages be temporary in Detroit? If not, how they they affect the industry, and employees?-
Sensible Until It Isn't
Roger Simmermaker, local union official
"Any economist will tell you two-thirds of economic activity is comprised of consumer spending. Americans can only be as affluent as consumers as they are wage-earners."

A Crucial System, Likely to Evolve
Lei Chen, American Institute for Economic Research
The company must maintain a positive cash flow. So must the workers. Two tier is temporary. The way it ends is to be negotiated.

A Tenable Position for Unions
Peter Cappelli, professor, the Wharton School
All workers are temporary. The lower wages will come to be the wages if only because the senior workers retire. The business should be shrinking. Retirees will not be replaced in general.
