Sure, I agree that _contracts_ can make a difference. But note that contracts are not a requirement of employment: I can, for example, hire someone to rake my leaves. If he decides that manual labor violates his "civil rights," I can give him the boot. No muss, no fuss, no contracts.

There is an implicit contract. Most human interactions are conducted with implicit rather than explicit contracts, but with contracts none the less. Even "explicit" contracts are usually more implicit than you might think. S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
