I agree. It will be a lose lose, and in the end, the employees will be the biggest losers. The unions will eventually fold and the companies will pay the lowest wages possible with no benefits....
It's a lose lose for everyone. But in the end the companies will win and get what they want. The standard of living, wages, benefits continue to decline, and this is just another *clear* indicator of this decline..
That's the reality not of mean greedy businessmen and women but the rising cost of US healthcare. End free healthcare in the US and bring torte reform and insurance reform to the industry and the costs can come back down.
"In the end", people have a choice about the companies they work for. If they don't like it, they can always go somewhere better or start their own company.
