Mitch Daniels, naive little corporate play toy. Did anyone see the press conference? I'm wondering if they are going ahead with this.

1. Bauer's office issued a statement saying the Legislature WILL get involved

... despite Mitch's certainty that he only needs "federal approval" to do this.

2. And look who he's getting to manage this Titanic!

So just what kind of company is IBM? Not good to employees, according to this recent court settlement. So much for treating those new employees with any sort of fairness!

Settlements and Verdicts
International Business Machines Corp.
A class action lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California alleging IBM did not pay overtime to thousands of technical services professionals and information technology specialists. Nearly 32,000 current and former employees throughout the United States alleged they were classified as exempt from overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act and certain state laws when they should have been nonexempt and compensated for overtime. IBM has settled the overtime class action lawsuit for $65 million. (Nov-23-06)
