Work rules and generous benefits packages will be out the window and pay will fluctuate wildly depending on “market forces” and how much company kool aide you are willing to injest. Another casualty of this little experiment in libertarianism would most likely be safety as the most lucrative contracts and career advancement would go to the guys that “get the job done.” Oh you’re too tired to agree to an FDP extension? You’re not captain material.
