We replace all you some day, Confucius say. BTW, I walk on your back --twenty dollar.

<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 1721 -- 7/02/2007 >>>>>

I was quite stunned to read Parade magazine yesterday. In it, Labor
Secretary Elaine Chao is quoted saying that American workers not only have
bad attitudes and lousy work ethics, they also need to dress better and to
have better personal hygiene. Let's be blunt -- Chao thinks American
workers have bad body odor. On top of all that, Chao thinks that Americans
need to take anger management classes!

After reading the article several times in stunned disbelief I decided to
call Parade magazine and ask where the source of those quotes came from. I
talked to the contact person for the press release who told me that the
author of the story, Lyric Wallwork Winik, interviewed Chao. She didn't
know for sure how the interview was conducted but most of Winik's
interviews are done in person or via telephone.

She was quite interested, and somewhat surprised, when I told her that that
this article is starting to get a lot of notice in internet blogs and chat
rooms. The Parade website allows comments if you wish to express your
opinion about Chao's negative attitude towards American workers.

Make no mistake about Elaine Chao's motivation for making these racist and
offensive comments. Her purpose is quite transparent -- she wants to
denigrate American workers in order to justify the importation of foreign
workers by using guest worker visas such as H-1B, L-1, H-2B, TN, etc. The
jobs she doesn't destroy here in the U.S. she wants to offshore.

These negative attitudes towards American labor shouldn't be tolerated, but
it does seem fashionable nowadays. Corporate toadies like Chao are
manipulating our sense of self esteem and value to instill an inferiority
complex in us so that we will accept the destruction of the American middle
class.

Elaine Chao shouldn't be allowed to hold a public position, especially one
like the Secretary of Labor, but as we all know her anti-American attitudes
are shared by her boss, President Bush. Why aren't Americans marching down
the street demanding the immediate dismissal of public enemies like Chao?

[In the News]

How Safe Is Your Job?
You could lose your job to a foreign worker -- not because he’s cheaper
but because he has better workplace skills and discipline. That’s the
message Labor Secretary Elaine Chao hears from U.S. executives who are
worried about America’s competitive future. While losses are low thus far
-- one study estimates that only 280,000 jobs in the service industry out
of 115 million are outsourced each year -- that could change. Beyond the
cheaper cost of labor, U.S. employers say that many workers abroad simply
have a better attitude toward work. "American employees must be punctual,
dress appropriately and have good personal hygiene," says Chao. "They need
anger-management and conflict-resolution skills, and they have to be able
to accept direction. Too many young people bristle when a supervisor asks
them to do something."

As for our job future, Chao notes that most of the fastest-growing jobs
today are in industries requiring advanced knowledge and skills and are
"very high or high wage." But critics say we’re not doing enough for
those without a higher education. "Today, only 30% of the workforce has
four years of college," says Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy
Institute. "Instead of factory slots, there are slots for security guards
and food-prep workers."
