I think that people should remember that Labour laws or Workers Rights and conditions are a sign of an equal (ish) and intelligent society, A fair days work for a fair days days pay and all that. The 'improved' working terms and conditions didn't just happen, they cost a lot of blood, sweat and tears from some very brave people over the years. Accepted that towards the late 70s the pendulum swung quite a long way past the fair and equal and into the realms of Union craziness, works to rule etc etc (well it did in the UK), but that's no reason for people to return to the bad old days of the industrial revolution and the terrible conditions of the late 19th century even if its happening in somebody else's country.
Good post and I agree. It happened here in the U.S. as well.
