Do you mean companies like CCA, McDonalds and PepsiCo?Companies that truly do well reward their workers with good salaries and benefits.
Of course not, it's not a sweatshop if you have to actually PAY your employees, sheeshThere are few "sweat shops", if any, left in this country.
The tech field is an anomaly to an extent, it values independent thinking and has the "expected cost" to deal with it. If your computer blows a thingy-ma-bob, you expect to pay a lot to have it fixed, sorta like car mechanics.Tech companies are a prime example. They know and understand how to motivate.
Of course not, that would be silly. I *will* say however that "our here in socialist heaven" the pay rate for a shop assistant is around 18 bucks an hour. On the flip side, we don't burden our companies with some stupid notion that they should pay for our healthcare either. If you want private healthcare, you pay for it.When you walk into a company, there are common sense expectations. If you walk into Walmart for work, do not expect to be making $35/hr to scan items at a cash register or greet customers.
Some people do not have a choice dude, they simply don't have the "smarts" to do anything else, or there is no opportunity for them.Walmart is not a high-end retailer. I'd you don't like your work conditions then f**k off and go elsewhere. Same for McDonalds or Booger King, etc.
Go for it dude!!Banking structures are a completely different story. The disaster occurred here because of a complete lack of sufficient regulation and oversight. Unions would have done exactly shit for banks except created more reason to scalp their customers. My position on banking is that they should be regulated to hell. If you want my reasons, we can start a new thread.
I said regulation at first, but as I expected regulation would be seen as an impingement on a free market economy. AFAIK, banking and healthcare are the 2 industries that should have nigh on draconian regulation because they form the basis of nearly everything else to an extent.
I would love to hear you rant on this!!
