I have no advertisers to please and if my readers dislike my opinions they can choose to stop reading my articles. As long as I am writing I will continue to speak my mind with little consideration for what others may later say. Isn't this what blogging is all about?<BR/><BR/>Plonkee,<BR/><BR/>You are absolutely right about the need for balance. I am going a little farther than you are though. I think that balance is needed as long as we are talking about basic workers rights. However, I stand firmly on the side of management where efficiency, business strategy and progress are concerned.

This is a touchy subject to write about as it can elicit many very strong responses. I think you handled it well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-24974373719782682092007-09-04T12:36:00.000-07:002007-09-04T12:36:00.000-07:00I think that the key word here is balance.I think that the key word here is balance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
