Strange Famous

And after this, compulsory genetic testing for all employee's... those who are found to have a genetic predisposition to heart disease or cancer to be dismissed... those who refuse testing to be dismissed. The logic of the mantra "it is his company, he can do what he wants" WILL end in the dismissal of all people of certain races, or the sacking of women who refuse to wear short skirts, or sleep with the boss... either you accept an employee has rights or they are anothing, a commodity to be exchanged for wages who is not recognised as a human.

In my opinion the main error made in judging this case however is to say the company belongs to the person who is legally defined as the owner of the corporation as an article of private property. The company has been created by those who worked for it. and therefore the fruits of their labour morally belong to these people. It would be moral and just for the owner to be dispossessed immediately and the company to become the communal property of its employee's as a whole.

But even in a capitalist view, this sort of thing should not be allowable.... where to we draw the line?

Sacking of smokers
Sacking of overweight
Sacking of all people who's parents were not born in America
Sacking of all women who will not wear revealing uniforms?
Sacking of all who are not members of the Baptist church?

If one is allowable, then all of the other cases are merely matters of degree.
