Seriously, I don't see how you could have your viewpoint and have had to work in shit-ass conditions for an employer that does not offer healthcare, or even overtime. Or dignity, for that matter.


Ah, the mighty silver spoon attack. Now that we've moved on to purely ad hominem arguments, I think this thread has run its course. But, for the record, I have never seen it required in any employment contract that an employer afford his workers dignity...I know executives and construction workers that have it, but curiously it appears to be based on their own perception of the worth of their labour, rather than the conditions per se (again, turn of the century coal mines and the like would be the exception, but assuming a certain minimum...).
So, as a response, I know many people with both extremes of the job healthcare spectrum who share my viewpoint. I guess it's like that Hollywood star said after Nixon's victory: "I don't know how he could have won, no one I know voted for him".
