The poor American worker!  LOL  Just as Micro$oft "discovered" there
was a "problem" with hiring workers as permanent temps for 2, 3, 4, 5
years and more with squat for benefits, these "managerial titles"
cases do tend to make for interesting legal decisions.  In all areas,
face it, if no one complains, and the company gets away with it,
nothing will ever change.  Like taking an aggressive IRS stance, the
proper authority always decides the truth.  Right!  Remember reading
about how Ford actually increased worker hourly wages during the
Depression, right from the goodness of its heart?  Of course, Ford
also fired 30,000 workers and increased the work output required of
all remaining workers before making the wage announcement the next
day.  You could also have your car in whatever color you wanted as
long as it was black.  Whatever happened to those phrases "robber
barons" and  "the business of America is business?"  Unions.  That's a
whole other barrel of contention.  The history of social change in
America is the history of arrogance and lawsuits.  Corporations only
respect a winning lawsuit.

Thanks for putting some pertinent facts behind your opinion!
Refreshing!
