2. Corporate America Wants All Workers To Be Independent Contractors In The Future.

The next move for big business is to end the full time job and replace it with contract or contingency workers.
Granted the Dept of Labor has won some cases on this matter. By putting in pro business judges and defunding or devolving federal authority to the states business can move into this new model for workers.

The attack on regulation and the union movement is part of this broad based strategy to move the labor market to a "brave new" world. This model was part of the Reagan revolution. The Labor Department actions show how widespread the effort is for business to no longer pay payroll taxes and make employees responsible for them on the fixed pay they will get in the future.

The things that are going on now in business will be the "no job jobs of the 21st century. There was discussion of an employee free corporate zone in the early 1980's. The job as it is known will cease to exist under this new business model.
