dreamdancer 0 #251 March 16, 2009 Quote >(the vast majority can tell simple right from wrong - unlike a corporation). So corporations don't contribute to charity? They don't voluntarily do 'the right thing?' They don't offer their employees things they don't have to? I don't think you've known very many corporations, if you think that. you seem to be saying here that corporations are comparable, morally, to people.stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No more so than families, countries, clubs or associations are comparable to people. All the above are groups of people who express the morality of their members in aggregate.

jcd11235 0 #253 March 17, 2009 QuoteAnd I am saying that a corporation's morality is entirely made up of the people who comprise it, no more moral or amoral than the people within. Do you consider owners without any interaction with the corporation, some of whom may not even realize that they own stock in the company, to be a subset of that group of people?Math tutoring available.

dreamdancer 0 #255 April 18, 2009 QuoteEarlier this week, President Obama announced he intends to nominate Lorelei Boylan as administrator for the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and Thomasina Rogers as chairwoman of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC). The practices of the Wage and Hour Division under the Bush administration have come under fire recently. Last month, the Government Accountability Office issued a report saying the division, which is supposed to enforce minimum wage, overtime and child labor laws, had not enforced the laws, leaving low-income workers vulnerable to wage theft. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has announced the agency will add 250 new investigators, an increase of more than one-third. Toward that end, the agency already has begun the process of adding 150 new investigators to its field offices. In addition, another 100 investigators will be hired to ensure that contractors on economic-recovery projects comply with the applicable laws. This is a big step in the right direction to rebuild the agency, which lost more than 200 investigators during the Bush administration. Boylan currently serves as director of strategic enforcement for the New York State Labor Department’s Labor Standards Division, where she supervises the apparel industry/fair wages task force, a statewide unit that investigates low-wage industries. Under her leadership, the task force has flourished into a groundbreaking investigative unit with a high rate of success in resolving wage and hour investigations. http://blog.aflcio.org/2009/04/17/wage-and-hour-division-gets-new-leader/stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
