    Was about to post this. It shows that there are coorporations that do care about their workers, and not simply about squeezing as much profit as possible. just think of what kind of world we would live in if other coorporations such as the oil industry, the banking industry, and others would care about their workers, and the impact that they, as coorportions, have on the world beyond their ceo's pocketbooks.

    Kudos to Google, and the others who are taking the initative to take a stand for what is right, instead of carrying only about what is more profitable in the short run.
