What, you mean like getting them to stop using slave labor? Child labor? Sweatshop labor?... We as the public have every right to put restrictions on you because as in any other area of life, people time and again cannot be trusted to do the right thing.

So, EDS is using child, slave or sweathop labor?

Notice the irony in your post?

So, my people cannot be trusted so your people have the right to restrict.

Gotta control those greedy kulaks, they're hurting the revolution. You've become a parody of yourself.

They bailed on the US market for a buck and hired Mexicans at subpoverty wages compared to here which essentially creates a climate of dumping that undercuts US based business and puts them at risk of failure. I've equated it with slave labor. Don't know quite what else you call it when you take a skilled, highly fluid job that requires daily adaptation and hire pigmies to do it. It really isn't any different, pigmies would do the job cheaper than the mexicans but for government reliability issues. But then, ya'll think that you're safe in Mexico, China and India - until they nationalize your investment and take it over. There's nothing stopping them from doing it and every expectation that they will at some point. And what do your investors do then?

And I do fail to see the irony in the post. The point is, that in every instance we the people had to act to end the tyranny of the relative few. In the instance of Slavery it was business owners protesting the loss of slaves because they didn't feel they could make "enough" profit to stay afloat unless they treated fellow human beings like animals. Not too much different from today. But there's a vested interest in keeping people working at poverty and sub-poverty rates isn't there... I mean, who would really ever rent an apartment if they could earn enough money to buy a home. I never would have. Who would buy mobile homes if they could afford to buy a house.. Who would buy cheap crap partical board furniture that warps out of shape in 6 months if they could afford to buy real wood instead of sawdust and glue. Just like there's no profit in making anything that is of any lasting quality.. I remember when GM was fighting to try and get law passed that forbade owning a vehicle for longer than 10 years. When they ran up against the law, who refused to do so, they decided since they couldn't get a law, they'd just build in obsolescence. To garauntee they would get return business.

It's ok for you corporate types to protect your position, but it's a crime if anyone expects that an employee would even try... one wonders why you corporate types are better than the worker.
