Interesting that you are all for the government protecting those willing to
work for less but don't want any government protections for those wishing to
collectively bargain. There must be balance in our system of law or there is
not law but legalized anarchy by those controlling the law. That is the
essence of capitalism in America today. Slowly but surely business is
strangling the good out of America to profit by it. When major cartels
control the costs of labor, labor will work for poverty wages because that is
all that is available. I suspect you find yourself in what you believe is
some safe haven from this legalized anarchy. Only time will tell, but I doubt
it. If not you, then your children or grandchildren will pay the price for
this short term frenzy of greed.
