HR: Complete Overall of Labor Laws

A couple days ago I ran into a "blog" posting that I though had a couple of good points. It was calling for a complete overhaul of Labor Laws. Although it called for enactment of the Employer Free Choice Act (which is hopefully delayed if not dead at the moment), it also pointed out that some of the biggest violators of Labor Laws has been the government itself. The posting pointed out that the EEOC had "willfully violated" the Fair Labor Standards Act, with the arbitrator writing that the EEOC "went beyond mere negligence." The article also cited severe lapses by OSHA, "leading to multiple unnecessary deaths," and Labor Department failures to follow up on wage and hour violations flagged by their own investigators.

Comment: The issues are real -- something I've been "preaching" for years -- but I'm frustrated over the question "what's the solution?" Do I agree with the need for a "complete overhaul of labor laws?" Absolutely!!! But it's appears that labor laws, government regulation and oversight is clearly not the best way to achieve this. The struggle is therefore, how to make this happen?
