No, I never defended such moves.

Then again, Samsonite has been manufactuering suitcases, sold in the United States, in Mexico, since the 60's. They have a big plant in Nogales, Sonora

Make sure to take out an insurance policy on them before beheading them - I hear there's good money in it.

With respect - I have the right to get a life insurance policy on whomever I wish to - say on you - if you die, I get the face value.

Really, this type of thing is not all that uncommon in the business world.

What does it cost you? Do you pay for it? The policies are low value with the intent to help hire and train a replacement worker. People die. Insurance companies insure them.

You Lefties are such a big fan of Social Security (an insurance plan, you know) but have trouble with a company insuring themselves against the loss of an asset? Talk about strange and obtuse.

OK, but, it does not alter the fact that I can purchase a life insurance policy on you -

In the OP's story, "Wal-Mart received about $64,000. [The widow] got nothing from that policy."

That's okay by you because it doesnt affect you, right?

No you do not...that is just more corporate greed. And another elitist thinking they are sue something. God bless the person who ever tried to do this to me or someone in my family.
