CR,

I don’t buy into the notion that employers have no responsibility to their employees other than just to pay them.

The current trend is to work employees about 38 hours a week to save having to pay benefits.

If employees are expected to do a good job for their boss, the boss should also have the interest of his workers in mind.

A corporate bean counters view of people as numbers just rather disgusts me. Once taking care of your workers was a reasonability to remain in business. I won’t go into when or why it ended but lets just say it was corrupt.

Remember, even Henry Ford wanted to pay his workers well enough to afford what they made. It is as good for the company as it is for the economy and everyone benefits.

Right now we seem to be back in an age of Robber Barons, who paid so little workers starved so they just hired new ones.

Now it just isn’t Wal-mart, it is more of a trend.
