[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 578569, member: 12570"] I am going to offer what you may find to be a surprising response to this thread. I think bbsam is an astute businessman. He is able to separate emotion from business when dealing with his employees. He is also smart enough to realize what his return on investment will be--in other words, you get what you pay for. If bbsam is able to get qualified employees to work for $650/week then more power to him. bbsam is in business to realize a profit, reinvest in his business and to grow his business. Labor costs make up the bulk of his expenses so reducing these obviously helps his bottom line. With all of the talk of leveling the playing field, do I think that it is fair that I am paid at least twice what he is paying his employees to do what is basically the same job? Of course not, but that is not the discussion here. The sad reality is that bbsam will always have an abundant pool of people willing to work for him at the wages that he is willing to pay and until such time as the IC model is either modified or discontinued he will continue to flourish.
