“For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.”-- Benjamin Franklin
Heard on WSB radio today that lack of workers are partly driving shortages like copper and lumber and other commodities. So until the federal add on unemployment benefit to state payments, it will continue. Until lately there has apparently been a loophole in having to certify you are looking for work. Apparently that could close soon.Florida's governor is likely to be the 1at to refuse the federal unemployment supplemental benefit to induce more folks to get back to work.
