1) Bad idea by changeagent on May 3, 2007 Government intervention in businesses is almost always a bad idea filled with unintended consequences. Employees are free to work for who they please. If my employer started telling me how to run my life I would find employment elsewhere. Business are not afforded the same choices, they must comply or they are destroyed. More regulations on Michigan businesses is a bad idea. Reply
