[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1141508, member: 43436"] The company agreed because it had no choice as status quo, laws protect labor rights. Hence why [B]UPS spends millions on anti-union lobbyists[/B]. Don't flatter yourself -- whatever job you do for UPS, UPS could find somebody to do it just as well for a lot less compensation - the sole exception being a first year PTer. Pretty short-sighted view on things. - Regardless of Hoff's position as a union leader, he was involved in illegal dealings -- why do you think he was murdered? - There's nothing wrong with trucking deregulation, or free trade. Both are wonderful ideas. The issue is right-wing courts that have decided that it's perfectly OK for companies to hire "independent contractors" but control their schedule, appearance, monitor them with telematics, e.g. - you know, the things EMPLOYEES are subjected to, not contractors. Same with free trade -- when it was being argued, Congress (as it was a Bush I-era bill that Clinton ultimately signed) insisted that laws would prevent companies from moving jobs across the border, as this production wouldn't be exempt from taxes. Right-wing courts disagreed. - Also worth noting that I'm referring to what's evolved into the extreme right wing party we have today. Most prominent southern democrats changed party affiliation after northern democrats sought to protect rights for black folks. [/QUOTE]
