In a recent Seattle Times article Chris Gregoire opponents are concerned about Gregoire’s close relationship with labor. Opponents state that unions and Gregoire are in a mutual back scratching position.
Well its true. Labor helped get a labor friendly executive and legislature. Let's remember, labor is the you and me. It is everyman working for some one else. In the case of the state workers who, as the Times reported, received a hefty raise labor is the army of people who keep the state running for you. They are working for you! Don't you think they deserve a decent wage?
At any rate, Gregoire’s opponents fear this mutual back scratching. I say, so what. It's about time someone - a real person- and not a corporation benefited from back scratching at the highest level.
