The CDC says Ebola should be as easy as MRSA for US hospitals. Well, since we haven't really been effective at preventing MRSA infections, I'm not super confident...

But the Jimmy John’s employment agreement is one small piece of evidence that workers, especially those without advanced skills, are also facing various practices and procedures that leave them worse off, even apart from what their official hourly pay might be.
