PW,

If a company's stock price deteriorates sufficiently, can the temporary workers be forced to buy shares, at the previously higher price, retroactively? By this decision, one would think so.

LOL!! You're making the mistake of thinking logically. That can be a dangerous thing to do, these days. :-)

Regards, JB

Edit: I wonder if McNeally, Ellison, et all, will find that this ruling may apply to them as well??

Also, Case (AOL), that staunch defender of government regulation and control in regards to MSFT, may find that same long arm of the law frowning at his proposed merger with Time Warner.

The chickens may come home to roost. LOL!!

PMSW: Your points are excellent! This decision is not judicial but the court once again acting legislative and arbitrary. It does add fuel to the fire of the persons commenting that they distrust the judicial system. JFD
