Follow this link to an editorial in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

The editorial is in support of the Rewarding Achievement and Incentivizing Successful Employees (RAISE) Act. This bill has been introduced by two Republicans, Sen. David Vitter and Rep. Tom McClintock.

The description says, “RAISE would amend the National Labor Relations Act to permit employers to pay unionized employers incentive wages outside the normal limits imposed by collective bargaining.”

I sent the following comment to the newspaper:

Maybe some of your readers would take your editorial about the Rewarding Achievement and Incentivizing Successful Employees (RAISE) Act hook, line, and sinker.

Those of us who didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday are a little suspicious of the description of this act introduced by two Republicans in Congress.

The bill is too new to find out anything about it except for the description provided by Sen. David Vitter and Rep. Tom McClintock.

However, a bill introduced by two Republicans who merely want to raise the wages that union workers can earn makes me think I smell a rat.  I am waiting for complete details so I can find out where the rat is buried.
