Abiding by such rights is why the average cost for employers in the US is high enough that huge numbers of jobs are outsourced to chearper overseas companies without such stringent and exepensive issues.We're spoiled in taht regard compared to a) many nations around the world and b) any point in our history.So...just something to keep in mind [/quote] You're welcome to disagree. But I happen to know that unions are all but powerless & totally corrupt, strike-busting is a way of life for industrial workers, temporary employment (scabs, et al) are on the rise, we work longer and longer hours with fewer and fewer benefits (healthcare? At a tech firm?), we can be fired with or without cause (I've read of bosses adding 'no smoking' rules, on or off the clock, for example) at any point in our day. I've read of large companies doing evil things to subvert the American worker (like Gilette stopping production in Atlanta and over-producing in Germany, despite the higher cost of work there, simply for the purposes of enraging class war). I've watched billion dollar companies folding like houses of cards because of corrupt leadership who can't keep their hands out of the corporate pocket, (Enron? Tyco? Adelphia?) and we all know we're throwing the dice when we're offered retirement plans. No, DL, the workforce in America is in a pitiful state. But apparently we're too tired to fight it. So chip, chip, chip. -[url=http://www.brokenhattrick.com]steve[/url] Loading...
