- Oh. That must be why companies are leaving Right To Work states (for
- example, Proctor-Silex leaving North Carolina for Mexico) for Mexico,

- The productivity battle is being "lost" because of short-sighted,
- bean-counting management that only looks as far as the quarterly
- bottom line and how the stock market will react.
