Labor Violations Suck

Yes, labor violations are going on in our backyard, but these things have been going on since the Industrial Revolution, in just about every company ever. Labor is one of a business's greatest expenses and so in order to make good profits, one idealogy is try to convince your workers not to form unions and keep them from knowing their rights. To rape the resources in the benefit of the few. If our society tries to cut corners instead of doing things the right way, then it is on a pathway to destruction. It is becoming an American way to view life as "How can I work the system to my benefit?" I see it when lobbyists get caught bribing officials, when businesses try to bust unions, and even when kids try to squeeze money out of their parents. This is not a healthy way of thinking. Instead of working against each other we need to work with each other. I feel that people should be trying to contribute to their society, instead of feeding off of it. But corrupt officials don't care as long as they come out ahead.
