Callous Remark All Too Typical

Re “Tustin Hospital Closing; 300 Will Lose Their Jobs,” March 14:

G & L Realty Corp. President Steven Lebowitz’s remark that “the people leaving are not my problem” was as unnecessary as it was callous.

No one at Tustin Hospital expected any concern on the part of Lebowitz, but his attitude is all too typical of big business in this country today.

A total disregard of employees in the quest for higher and higher profit margins inevitably results in a decline of the middle class, who will no longer be able to buy the goods and or services Lebowitz and his cohorts want to market.

When the day comes that Lebowitz is in need of understanding or compassion he’d best recall the Golden Rule.
