Doesn't it make you angry when corporations lie and claim that they create jobs.  Corporations have been eliminating jobs since 1600 through the industrial revolution and now the electronics and cybernetic and robotic revolutions.  At first, it was just industrial workers that were replaced by machines, but then white-collar office workers, and now even customer service and telephone marketers have been replaced by machines.  Our technologists are developing ways to have medical care providers -- human beings like nurses and doctors --  replaced by high-tech electronics.  This is not all bad.  We just have to adjust to these changes.  We will have to change the principles of our economy in the near future, when the need for human labor is dramatically reduced.     

 

Therefore, most people will say, "We can't stop progress."   No, but we can make it safe if we want to be responsible caretakers of ourselves and the life supporting environment.  When you are an employee you are at risk to be treated like you have no importance, like you are just another tool exploited to make profits for an "investor" who just sits on his fat ass and collects the surplus value that you created.  BUT YOU ARE PROTECTED FROM THAT KIND OF TREATMENT, AND FINANCIAL DISASTER, WHEN YOU ARE BOTH AN EMPLOYEE AND AN OWNER OF THE COMPANY.  All you and your fellow employees need is information, and that information is available free online from several sources.  [This IS NOT an advertisement.]  One source is the NCEO, National Center for Employee Ownership.  Taking ownership of your company is a process that can take some time, but today is the day to start.  "Live and learn" also means "learn and live better."  Complete information is available online about how to plan and prepare for buying the company you work for.  If some employees are not good with computers, you know someone who is, which often turns out to be your child.   Information is also available in printed publications and through training presentations.  I have been directly acquainted with two employee-owned companies.  This is real.  This is true.  You can own the company you work for.   And business records show that the company is usually more successful after it is employee owned.  There is more than one source of this kind of information, but a good place to start is the NCEO or National Center for Employee Ownership.  The investors and bankers and Wall Street gamblers have used their wealth and power for class war against labor unions, therefore a practical defensive strategy by the employees is to buy the "means of production." When you own the company you work for, you then protect your rights, your family, and your retirement by becoming both the capitalist and employee in the same person.  Get started today!  Search, learn, protect your own self-interest.                    www dot nceo dot org
