You're discussing employee rights, and I'm naming them for you. How is that
"irrelevant" to what you said?

Nice try, Michael. Look what you tried to pull off:
ML: Mentions that employees have rights.
SdSD: Acknowledges the specific rights that employees have.
ML: Says that SdSD is lecturing him about things irrelevant to what ML has
said, THEN proceeds to accuse SdSD of being incapable of acknowledging that
which he just posted.
That crap may work with specimens such as Clore, but it won't fly for those
who are used to your type of games...

How is that? Laws? Legal precedents? Sources to back up your claims?

We're discussing PROPERTY RIGHTS regarding the ownership of the BUSINESS.
Being the lefty you are, I don't doubt that you are quite confused by the
concept, as it contradicts the Marxist/socialist worldview that you have
been indoctrinated with. Nobody accrues more rights by opening a business,
but they don't lose them merely because you think they should. Get a clue...

You have right to sell and market your time and labor as you see fit, the
right to get paid per any voluntary contract you enter into with your
employer, and the right to leave and seek work elsewhere if you think you're
getting a raw deal. That's as far as it goes, despite your wishful thinking
otherwise...
