NEW YORK - Employers are dispensing notably smaller pay raises this year — well below the 4 percent-plus increases routine before the economy lost its footing — and workers should not expect much improvement in 2004. ------------

Employers "are saying I can't raise prices. Well, I've got to raise productivity," said Steven Gross, a compensation consultant for Mercer. "People are flogging their workers to get more out of them as a means to increase profits, coupled with the fact that there's more supply than demand for labor today."

Welcome to the Brave New World of Republicanism. The fat salaries and bloated bonus to CEOs have not slowed any. Only the working class is being beaten into the ground. This is what the Republicans are after to break the working class. They are hammering the chains of our bondage at this moment. They are packing the courts with judges that will see that there is no working class justice in the courthouse. They have passed laws that allow the employers to steal our pensions. We either band together and fight or we shall hang alone.
