There is nothing wrong with maximizing profits, but we take it to an extreme and it has become lets maximize profits and who care who we fuck over in the process, instead of lets see how we can maximize profits while still making sure we take care of our employees. If employers in general, by nature, did the latter, then we wouldn't even have a need for unions. I think having employee representation would be a good idea Robert. I think this constant struggle that we have seen that has become class warefare between the rich board members and other Executives and the middle class and lower class workers is what has been really killing us. That does sound like a very equitable solution to ensure that while they are looking out for #1 they aren't smashing #2's face in ;-)
