In a time like now, anything that pays that people are willing to do is a good job since it also puts food on the table. Who is expected to work the "ungood" jobs? This political elitism with our reps knowing what's better for us needs to stop. The rationale for needing to unionize employees at the Pepsi Center and Coors field is outdated. If volunteers, who man the games to raise money for various organizations, will do the job for free, are these people in "good jobs?" Are we next going to see government funded construction projects not allow machinery so we can employ more people with shovels? Government needs to get out of the way and let the entrepreneurs in our community create jobs to turn things around without politicizing what's "good" or not.
