Quotation of the Day for January 30, 2012



"There is additional and compelling consideration which recent economic experience has brought into a strong light. The exploitation of a class of workers who are in an unequal position with respect to bargaining power and are thus relatively defenseless against the denial of a living wage is not only detrimental to their health and well being but casts a direct burden for their support upon the community. What these workers lose in wages the taxpayers are called upon to pay.... The community is not bound to provide what is in effect a subsidy for unconscionable employers."

- Charles Evans Hughes, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice.
