I spent 24 years at DOL watching the American business community and corporations rape and pillage American workers. They scrapped the social contract with workers who create their wealth. They are a bunch of lying and thieving as well as treasoness bastards save a few good employers who are left.
All they want now is cheap disposable labor. They want cheap imported labor rather than American workers. They are more interested in Chinese business practices and the Chinese flag than our own. New jobs being created now pay less. How do workers like competing in the global economy now? This mayhem was all born under Reagan with the help of the GOP and big business. May he be rotting in you know where. They want no regulations so they can poison everyone and everything.
American business still thinks a woman is worth only 78 cents to the dollar versus a man. And they are anti woman in every respest.
I watch corporate BS commercials all the time. What a bunch of liars.
What gets me is how American business and the US (pro Chinese communist) Chamber of Commerce gets a free pass from criticism.

(1,372 posts)We were told that there are 4 stakeholders in the corporation
1) the business
2) the stockholder
3) the employee
4) the community
Since 1985 the focus has switched to the sales dollars that benefit the corporate hierarchy and the stockholder AND now, even the community holds a higher place than the employee. The employee is seen as anecessary evil in order to produce.
There needs to be a rebalancing of the importance.
1) the stockholder needs to be paid but the business leaders needn't inflate their expectations.
2) the corporation needs to have money put back into research and development to create new products for future profit.
3) the employees (which includes the workers and the leadership) need to get a reward from the corporate profits. Since the reward is calculated in percentage of salary, the larged the salary the greater the increase but not at rates seen in the past for corporate honchos.
4) the community gets returns from charities, taxes from income, etc.
The worker has been beated down to the point where there is little of no discretionary income and the recovery is suffering.
Let's get the "stupid" out and start to rebuild America!!
