...How much further are we going to let this sort of thing evolve?<p>This is classic Industrialist overreach. Taft-Hartley be damned. Enough is enough. Corporate America needs a wake-up call, and I think the unions may need to brush off the dust and get back in the game.<p>It&#x27;s one thing to play with hypotheticals, but Corporations are starting to leverage capital advantaged positions in order to dictate what values the average American can expect in their lifetime.<p>It&#x27;s a slow, insidious process that will happen over several generations, and if a stand isn&#x27;t made against this sort of thing, it qualifies as implicit acceptance of the status quo.<p>If industry is going to try to build itself into a position where it can micromanage every iota of the working day out of a perceived superior position brought by cornering the &quot;market&quot; on economic power &quot;capital&quot;, then labor needs to be willing to say &quot;have fun with that, we&#x27;ll find another way to survive.&quot;<p>I get this may come across as hyperbolic rhetoric, but it is absolutely INSANE that people are thinking about IMPLEMENTING these sorts of things.
