Then, is it better for a corporation to extract as little work from an employee as it can, and pay that individual a lot? Usually that makes a corporation not survive.
Many of us(my husband) have worked for corporations for many, many, years because of the benefits and pension plans and steady work...as they say in OHIO. BIG Business is not an enemy. It is the backbone of our economy. Of course there should be regulations but not in such a way to discourage big corporations from coming to an area or staying in this country.. I just heard on the news last night that the state was granting several million dollars worth of help to an airplane manufacturing company that had the potential to bring 600 jobs. I say GOOD. Keeps folks off the dole.
