Although the worker trades time for money, this trade is not as simple as an ordinary trade of goods. A trader is prepared to trade with many others, not just one. It's expected and desirable that the trader move freely among a large group of customers and vendors. But the ordinary worker can have just one employer at a time and is not expected to work for one on Monday, a second on Tuesday and back to the first on Wednesday. This difference in expectations helps create a dependency of the worker on the employer that necessarily pushes the company's responsibilities beyond the scope of the work shift.
Labor is a resource only if it is willing and able to work.
A worker who is unwilling or ignorant or unable to get to the work place is valueless in the market place and a potential liability to the community. So if Labor is to maintain its value as a resource, these problems must be solved. Since the populace is ever changed by birth, death and other events, then the solution to these problems must be applied constantly. That is, these problems are a constant part of our corporate and personal lives and no one in the community may stop working with these problems without giving up the responsibility of citizenship. The ability to work is determined by such things as age, education, and transportation.
