What are the first three priorities of a company? 1. Profit. 2. Profit. 3. *Profit*. There is no other reason for a company to exist. FT

Right. Move the company to a country where they have no rights and no regulation. No health care or environmental concerns and it's still OK to shoot the workers if they ask for a raise or better working conditions. I heard a story about a union trying to organize a coca-cola plant in mexico. Coke hired some mercenaries to stop it and some protesting workers were shot. But the mexican officials knew who was buttering their bread. Too bad. A few questions: Re: "no rights, no regulation, no health care, no environmental concerns, etc....." 1. Could you please cite your source for these "facts" ? 2. Could you also cite the source of your "story" Re: Coca-Cola mercenaries? 3. Who might be that is "buttering their bread" for the Mexican officials? (I assume you have an opinion). 4. Whose right is it to "move the factory, to _______ ", (fill in the blank), anyway ? TIA.
