Job Killers: The American Dream in Reverse

The current economic crisis has America reeling. Every day, businesses are losing millions of dollars to global competitors and more Americans are finding pink slips where there should be paychecks. While there are many culprits that have contributed to this mess, one perpetrator plays an especially damaging role in suppressing our country's ability to climb out of this recession.Labor Unions.In his controversial new book, Job Killers: The American Dream in Reverse, financial expert Robert S. Graham calls for the eradication of labor unions, detailing their strong-arm politicking, forced memberships and outlandish policies that are not only failing to serve their members, but are a detriment to our country's financial security and survival.“Countless studies by many of the nation's top economists show labor unions' parasitic influence on our workforce,” Graham said. “It's time to take back America's right to work and prosper and there is no better time than the present to make it happen.” Job Killers offers concrete, sustainable solutions to getting America's businesses back on track such as enacting more right-to-work laws and states seeking more control of their economic potential. In addition, Graham arms readers with the tools necessary to obtain synergy in the workplace without the presence of unions as well as economic recovery fundamentals. Employees, business managers and government leaders alike should be reading this insightful book chock-full of solutions. Job Killers provides answers and solutions on increasing profits and productivity in the workplace in a volatile economy.
