The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL ACCESS) KGB Political Debate Central Corporate social irresponsibility

Just because they are temp jobs doesn't mean they are corporations hiring them. Temp workers fill a important
roll in the workplace. Large and small companies higher
temp workers for a reason, one which I am sure you cannot
comprehend.

Now I understand they do not have a place in your unicorn
lollypop universal everything land, but we all have to make
sacrifices.

My company gets temp workers when we have a large project
that needs extra hands to complete but doesn't require
a full time employee after the job is done.

We have also given temp workers full time jobs after
seeing the are competent enough to train for a position.

We even had a temp worker that was on leave from the navy for
a month and was bored and signed up to a temp job with us.
He said he wanted to work while he was off for a month so he
wouldn't get bored.

Temp workers have always been around for thousands of years
its not a new evil corporation plot.

I have even meet people who like temp work and do not plan to
do anything else.

You did not understand the article. It was about intentionally replacing full time employees with part time and temp workers to save on costs.

Imagine if your employer fired you and hired 2 minimum wage guys working part time to do it. That kind of situation.

"We all have to make sacrifices (so shareholders make extra profit)" logic does not work out for people who do not happen to be shareholders.

Replacing full-time jobs with part time and temp. contract workers absolutely makes sense if you only concerned about profits, it does not at all make sense if you consider wider societal consequences of such actions.

This is not unlike dumping toxic waste into the river. Sure, it reduces your costs and results in higher profits, but your increased profits are minute in comparison to damage your actions cause downstream.

McD can pay workers livable wage

McJobs is one clear example where government regulation is needed. I don't eat McD (or shop in Wallmart), yet I sponsor them via my taxes going to social support payments to their employees because corporations won't pay livable wages.

You are just going to create even more problems with that. If you want to talk about something universal and simple like minimum wage, I am willing to listen.

But the only thing McD's illustrates is that there are myriad problems that have compounded each other. Trying to micro engineer a better result from such a situation with govt action is bound to end not only in failure, but make things worse.

Aww, poor guy. Looks like you were duped by the Consumerist pulling its data from HuffPo who got it from an undergrad paper. Oh well, sometimes you're the windshield...
Where HuffPo really gets their info.

HOLY FUCK! WHOLE DOLLAR. THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Now now, let's not just cherry pick the parts we like.

For once you are correct.
