Comments on: Caputo is right - Captive Audience should be passed http://www.changewv.com/2008/caputo-is-right-captive-audience-should-be-passed Commentary by Vic Sprouse Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:26:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Citizen http://www.changewv.com/2008/caputo-is-right-captive-audience-should-be-passed#comment-18801 Citizen Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:49:10 +0000 http://www.changewv.com/2008/caputo-is-right-captive-audience-should-be-passed#comment-18801 Why would anyone in their right mind support a law to intefere with communications between an employer and employee? Such a law is obviously intended to threaten employers wishing to have communications meetings for the mutual benefit of employees and their employer. No matter what is communicated, a trouble-making employee or his union would inevitably claim that he was a "captive" audience. It doesn't require brains to realize that the US cannot compete in a global economy unless the employer and employee work together as a team to improve productivity. There is no place in free enterprise for such interference. Linking this nutty idea to West Virginia's nutty "Right-to-Work" law is a stroke of genius. Stated more correctly, that law is really an absurd "requirement-to-pay-union-dues-whether-you-support-the-union-or-not" law. It's time for WV to enter the 21st Century and repeal this absurd law.
