Re: Obama to business owners: "You didn't build that."
So you are saying you want to see examples - hypothetical or not - of businesses abusing workers and workers taking it... but only in first world countries that have laws against it? Your argument was: "businesses don't do it here now, so why would they start if we deregulated labor laws?" My argument was that you can see places with no labor laws, and our businesses abuse workers there.
What else do you want?
Again...is this something the workers of those companies have a problem with? Are they forced to work there?
Regardless of rules, regulations or practices...the relationship between worker and employer is a two-way street.
Again....let's say Apple is guilty of all those "bad" hiring practices and working environments. Is anyone forced to work there? Do they have the ability to force a current worker to stay there, if they want to go? As an employee, you have the freedom to go if you don't like it there. As the employer, you create the best working conditions you can, if you expect to attract workers. I'm specifically talking about "1st world" situations. Not whatever obscure little 5th world puissant business might fall under an extremist point of view.
