That's the way the market is moving, but that doesn't mean we have to like it or accept it. Society is not some race to the bottom to be the last person to starve to death in the gutter. A lot of hard-won labor victories (overtime, breaks, termination rights, FMLA, etc) are being lost here and we don't have to accept it. I know regulation and unionization are dirty words here, but they are some of the very few weapons to fight this trend.
