    Copy and paste the following into your browser to read some very interesting information on this topic – It is not always as \”cut and dry\” as you might expect.

    A lot of factors not disclosed in this article are up for consideration – lest we not judge until all facts are presented

    My first reaction \”what a crock\” – If I want to have a house built and hire an indepependent contractor to come and build it – because they had to follow a pattern (BLUE PRINTS!!!) then they are now my employees???? Go figure… it\’s Vermont…

    No manufacturing will be left in the US, if we keep this up. I know I\’m leaving as few of my 700+ employees here for another country. I don\’t mine the wages here, but the rules regulations and litigation from these items are impossible to deal with especially in insignificant states like Vermont.
