Reader Feedback: Disposable Workers

Oct. 5, 2011
Blue Collar Workers Made America What It Is--Well What It Used to Be

I wish there were more responses like yours to the problem of how the American worker is treated ("Do You Phone It In?", July '11, www.ControlDesign.com/phone). Profit is No. 1 on Corporate America’s agenda. I like to refer to it as "Greed." The working class has become disposable. Blue collar workers made America what it is—or maybe I should say what it used to be.
