So... Today is the first day of my second year of law school. I got to choose my own classes this time around, and you probably guessed that Labor Law was on my "hot list."

Maybe I'm a nerd, but I find this subject fascinating and extremely relevant to our society. Anyway, here's an interesting article that was in the New York Times today at http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/28/business/28wages.html?_r=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin:
