Burger King is a Cheepskate.http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/29/opinion/29schlosser.html

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/29/opinion/29schlosser.html The produce industry is unjustly exploiting migrant labor, by taking advantage of there foreign status. Thereby exempting themselves from U.S. labor laws. This then creates an underclass of unskilled, underemployed, wage slaves. And it also undercuts the competitive wages of the American workforce. The proletariat, both foreign and domestic, are being regarded as being like livestock, and being treated with even more neglect. There must therefore be, at the very least for now, more equitable labor standards. In the long term I'd like to see, as a libertarian socialist, buisness co-operatively run by the the workers themselves. Until that blessed day arrives however, government must regulate buisnesses, under the commerce clause of our Constitution.
