- The employer is under contractual obligation to give each employee
- exaactly what he or she was promiosed as compensation for their
- work. If one employee prefers to have their medical expenses paid
- while another perfers to get an extra $100/month in salary why
- should any third party be able to step in and say that these two
- employees must have exa tly the same terms to their employment
- contract?
-
- A contract of any sort comes into existance only when the terms are
- acceptable to both sides. Why should anyhone else besides the
- direct parties to that contract be able to dictate to those parties
- what acceptable terms are?
