Why capitalism doesn't work

Employees at the Vallee-Jonction Olymel pork plant in Quebec who voted massively Tuesday against concessions to save their jobs have been told its owners will follow through on their warnings that they'll close the money-losing facility. In this case, worker's stood up for the rights- concessions would have cost them about $12,000/yr- and lost their jobs as a result. This is simply shameful. As an aside, Lucien Bouchard is acting as the company's negotiator and described the workers' decision as "incomprehensible."

Seriously, if you can point another economic system that's been shown to work...
