20. I read #10. My question was what was the point of your
'challenge' to people who work for corporations made in your first post:

What's on yours? You don't have to say...but have a look at it anyhow. Bet it's a corporation. Are you going to quit to demonstrate your freedom from the corporate world? I doubt that very much.

What exactly does that mean?

Why should anyone have to quit for demanding fair treatment from their employers?

We have laws in this country regarding the fair treatment of employees.

Did you think that employers can just fire people, legally, for raising issues of unfair employment?

Have you seen what workers in France and Britain are doing to remind Corporations that this is not the case?

We are not a country of 'by the Corporations for the Corporations' and whenever Corporations exceed THEIR role in societies, history shows that when they need a lesson reminding them that everyone is equal in this exchange, both workers and employers are entitled to FAIR treatment, FAIR pay for what they do, the people themselves often have to teach them lesson, as is happeing in Europe right now, and if things don't change here, will happen here.

There is no need for anyone to quit their jobs to teach that lesson, is there? Not as long we claim to be a democracy. That's why we have unions, because we know that Corporations get greedy when not kept in line and reminded that if they exceed their rights and abuse workers, there WILL be consequences.
