To the Editor:

I have one thing to say to the business owners who feel that equal pay for equal work, safety and environmental regulations, and providing benefits to full-time employees instead of hiring part-time employees to avoid doing so, would constitute an “undue financial burden.” 

If you cannot afford to participate in these fair and reasonable business practices, perhaps you should consider another line of work. Hopefully for you, your employer will have a different opinion regarding the business they operate.
