ALL labor is replaceable. Even cheap Mexican labor...
this statement is pretty choice. labour class is equal to cattle or a pile of coal you can shovel into your locomotive. "even cheap Mexican labour " ?? wtf is that ? is a Mexican usually assumed to be worth less than other humans ? or is it management incapable to direct them in a way that get's the most value from them ?

Quote:
you can't just interchange upper management and get the same results, you can with the lower skilled workers.
doesn't this suggest that labour is NOT replaceable ? that maybe the skills of the hands have value ? that what is learned in the school of hard knocks is valuable ?
