I've read that corporations have taken to suing their employees. And I know of several cases where the promised retirement plan went into lala land and the employees were left with nothing.

There's something evil afoot in this. I can't quite put my finger on it.

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:

1. COWS
2. THE CONSTITUTION
3. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

1. COWS - Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that
our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago,
right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And,
they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to
locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we
should give them all a cow.

2. THE CONSTITUTION - They keep talking about drafting a Constitution
for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours?
It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for
over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.

3. TEN COMMANDMENTS - The real reason that we can't have the Ten
Commandments in a courthouse........ You cannot post "Thou Shalt
Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie"
in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians -- it creates a
hostile work environment.

RE: "Workers Are Filing More Lawsuits Against Employers Over Wages"

I suspect that the root cause is lawyers belief that there is money to be made in class action litigation.
