Montana Gov. Steve Bullock gave his support to a group of 35 unionized employees of the talc-milling plant in Three Forks who have been locked out of their jobs for a week.
Current workers, who have worked their way up to $15, are not going to accept entry-level pay. So the employer is under pressure to increase payroll of all workers.
71 percent of American workers are either “not engaged” or “actively disengaged” in their work.
According to Gallup’s employee engagement index, which is based on workers’ responses to 12 workplace elements, 19 percent of the employed are actively disengaged in their work, 52 percent are not engaged, and only 29 percent feel engaged in their jobs.
