16. Yeah, we need Libertarian Negative rights only. Business has our best interests in mind.
With everyone changing jobs often, and even several times per lifetime changing whole careers, your health aint their care. You will get sick on someone elses dime. If you do get sick, their insurance will fight tooth and nail, to prove that it was all some OTHER employers fault. For YEARS. The only thing that will protect workers are unions. And we need to retool unions, to cover swaths of smaller businesses. Somehow.

The employer, and the food producer dont care one wit about your life. In fact, as MM found out, they take out policies on you. It will ALWAYS be someone elses fault. Your lifetime is a hard laboratory to prove. And I have had vigilance about working conditions threaten my job MANY times. And still. You get Dosed.
