When the business treats its workers like they own them then we might take action. It was such situations that allowed--forced might be a better word--creation of the unions in the first place, after slavery had been abolished. And some of the current practices are suspiciously similar--unventilated truck vans packed with people, poor documentation of labor or wages. The policies presented today should stop these practices, and thereby end the comparison with slavery.

The policies put forth today will help those who broke the law and punish the law-abiding persons in waiting. It will not CHANGE anything. My guess is, the illegal slave-type labor will keep right on coming. And it doesn't change the fact that companies are taking advantage of desperate and starving people, still paying them less than our market value (In fact, paying them below market value is part of this plans requirement.)

It also will not stop taxpayers from funding this entire thing -- you know, the very people supposedly saving money on products and services with cheap labor.

This benefits no one but greedy companies.
