Contract/consulting work ends up costing more for the individual(where it effectively nullifies the advantage) and removes the ability to tap into the scale and knowledge of an established organization. In addition, it removes the ability to effectively plan for the long-term.
On the other hand, practicing career monogamy, as close as possible, sidesteps the issues as indicated in the article.
If anything, it should reflect on the need for stronger laws to protect unions from those kind of maneuvers. In addition, it means that Right to Work should also apply to employers as well.
hungry workers willing to work for minimum wage
That can be read more accurately as desperate workers contracted out by firms such as Strom Engineering that would rather not be involved in disputes. They use them as leverage much like a Right to Work state uses its false claim of "freedom" to mess with workers.
While it takes the whole company out, they didn't do it on strict financial grounds. See American Airlines for a case of strategic bankruptcy, albeit on slightly better financial grounds.
I provided solutions, modbombers register only their hate of them. In fact, I even recognize that there is a problem on the employer end where it solves a major problem with Right to Work - that it does nothing against employers that form unions.
The only reason Hostess decided to close is to use bankruptcy law to attack the unions - and replace them with employer-supported unions such as contract workers from staffing agencies. This usually comes from companies based out of the South where workers are to "know their place" and businesses are to not be questioned.
Get rid of the provision that voids union contracts on bankruptcy and make Right to Work apply to contractors and part-time labor.
JetBlue can't do it, but if you dont mind flying in an unmarked plane and with questionable status of citizenship afterward - the US Government will be more than happy to fly you over.
Unless other nations like the US stand up for their citizens and ensure that China(as well as other like-minded Third World countries and their front companies in First World/Second World countries) pays a penalty compared to the civilized world (read: US/AU/UK/EU) - you might have a point.
I also believe that there would be some that would make an equally faulty evaluation of the South and slavery.
The slaves might have been treated well, but they had no meaningful freedom, much like the Foxconn workers. In addition, both the South and Foxconn used the government to put down any attempts to maintain meaningful freedom.
Given that there's some concern that industrial control equipment already has some issues (see: things like Stuxnet happening) this is just asking for things to go wrong - horribly.
Somehow I would have as about as much sympathy for Foxconn(and other like-minded Chinese companies) as Iran should they have such befall them - since they're both working against the US.
That way, recompilation/patching isn't needed when a GNOME developer arbitrarily blacklists a chipset and goes out of their way to avoid fixing it (such as with the ATI R100 series).
It's one thing to have llvmpipe, it's another when the developer puts large amounts of effort to keep something broken.
Just because a state does not have a favorable climate for employee-side unions does not mean that they don't have employer-side unions such as contract labor.
China practices totalitarian Communism, which is worse. Given that Foxconn operates in China, the mainland factories are effectively the property of the PRC.
Given all the emphasis to lower quality keyboards (chiclet, rubber dome, and the like), evolution would be the wrong word. Regression would be more appropriate given the move towards lower quality keyboard input (or in the case of phones, to eliminate it from high end devices)
Then again, I've typed on Thinkpads, IBM Model M(buckling spring on plastic matrix), and IBM Model F(capacitive buckling spring) keyboards - as well as various QWERTY-devices (N900, N810w, E63, 9500 Communicator).
Hyundai only survives because someone isn't calling on their obvious copycatting of every other manufacturer. In addition, it does not help that they forsake the North when cloning their cars.
All that company has for an R&D department are a few artists, a wide format copier and a ton of lawyers.
Then you would see gentrification end up isolating groups of people - by using the speed limit or the construction of a (small) freeway to separate/isolate the undesirable city car drivers.

Cutting out the middle man is ALWAYS the right thing to do
Unless it comes to the HR department, where the lack of a middleman between a worker and the employer (incorrectly) is considered a problem.

I'm talking about the ultimate buyer of the assets of the company, not the now-scuttled company.

He should be worried more that the US government wouldn't care about silly things like national borders and treat him like he was a part of Al Qaeda.
As opposed to employer-formed unions such as contract labor, which are used in conjunction with and not covered by RTW?
Well, that would explain the actions of Foxconn that are less than honest or honorable towards their workers.
That boils down to large and pliant labor pool that won't ask questions about bad conditions.

Wake me up when the platform doesn't favor a bunch of binary blobs that moot the ability to change the firmware.
At least with the Intel platform you don't have that issue.
That, and they do more interesting things in the presence of a stiff breeze than blow over bridges.

In addition, these golfcarts only make things worse off for car manufacturing - given that they encourage shoddy manufacturing over quality.
These things won't be flying off of dealer lots because of sales, but they'll fly off of bridges because of the wind - much like how a Yugo did.
While the card's "identity" may be different, it doesn't matter if something can stand in for the hardware and provide a false ID.
