Georgia: Taxpayers Must Fund Sweatshops
Georgia last year passed a law prohibiting local governments -- read Atlanta -- from requiring that taxpayer-funded contractor jobs pay a "living wage." Just to make itself clear, the legislature passed and the Governor just signed a law to prohibit those local governments from even giving preference to companies paying a living wage.
This wins Georgia the 2005 prize for the most anti-worker piece of legislation passed by a state government.
