Free Market Capitalism is not commonly associated with worker's rights. |
Workers rights (free market) or workers theft (communism)? You'll have to define this a little more for me to fully understand where you are comming from. Please do as I am very opened minded (as in I'll admit I'm wrong if proven so and willing to accept new ideas after they are proven) and interested. [/b][/quote]
Today as well as in earlier times, free markets and less government intervention allows employers to treat worker's like crap. The right to form unions and collectively bargain is completely shut down. Bargaining is an essential tenenment to capitalism that allows fairness, that's why capitalism is seen as such of a bad thing, by some people. It's not advocating communism or not even socialism, it's advocating worker's rights to compete in the market just as commodities would.

I'm especially interested in economics and workers rights. I am getting ready to turn my freelance work into a fullfledged business and workers rights has been top on my mind. Any thoughts are welcome thoughts. |
Interesting, if you don't mind me asking, what do you plan on doing?
