Business History

            1. When you think about all the benefits we have received
             in our jobs, we don't realize how lucky we are. We have to
             thank all of the labor leaders who spent most of their time
             and effort in order for us to have the luxury to work in a
             safe environment, work reasonable hours, and receive a fair
             paycheck. Two labor leaders I will talk about is George
             Meanly and Walter Rather. George mean as born in New York
             City around 1894 and died around 1979. Walter Rather was
             born on September 1, 1907 in Wheeling, West Virginia. Both
             were great labor leaders who achieved several goals for
             laborers. Rather worked to achieve goals for workers as
             well as achieving national goals to try and help the
             country. Meanly mostly worked to help the country. I will
             compare and contrast five of their major goals and explain
             who had the best goals for America.
            
             Reuthers first major goal was to have a National system

             probably didn't have any kind of healthcare. He believed
             that everyone, no matter what their status, should be
             provided with some type of healthcare in which they can be
             taken care of in any type of emergency. His next goal was
             for Civil Rights. Reuther wanted everyone to be treated
             fairly and that there should be no discrimination when it
            
             comes to employment. So no matter what your race, color,
             sex, religion or origin, you will be treated fair and
             equally. His next to goals go together. The first is being
             paid the same or pay equity. Reuther believed that each
             worker should be paid the same salary for doing the same
             amount of work as everybody as well as working in the same
             working environment as everybody else. This also ties in
             with his next major goal, women should be paid equally.
             Women should be paid exactly the same as men. They
             shouldn't get a lesser salary just because they don't have a
             twig and berries betwe...
