People still act like this is a bad thing . Yes , it has its issues like not being able to offer raises to employees in good years . But the entire point of the law is so that a shareholder aka anyone who owns stock in the company that lives anywhere in the country gets the benefit of good years . If companies were focused on their employees , shares would lose value , and companies with good intentions would lose investors as their investment would be worth less . Dodge sued Ford because they were shareholders , and since the price of the share and the amount of payout from dividends , dodge would lose money from Ford doing this . C ' mon people .

I don ' t know if anyone remembers this , but I sure do .
