didn't you know, employees who expect increased wages for their labors are unreasonable
business owners who enhance their profits by decreasing the their cost of labor are capitalists
Well, this is not entirely true bubba. I think you know that CEO's and directors of the Company are beholden to the shareholders, who are everyday people, people with pensions, retirees, and other investors...When labor costs become more than a bottom line can handle and sustain in long term health of the company then the line must be drawn.
then tell us how much that bottom line can handle
that's not up to me, or you. Nor is it up to the people who work for the company who have no idea of the details of any particular company.
and that is the critical measure to determine what is equitable
you insist that the wage earners are greedy because they want more wages
while you insist the business owners are doing the right thing because they want more profits ... at the wage earners' expense
the hypocrisy is palpable

Don't tell me this ****. If it's my labor and expertise that makes the product that makes the profit, it is somewhat up to me!
You're just being a hypocrite!
No, it really isn't...You don't "own" the job. Nor do you own the company. If a company agrees to pay you what you ask then they must feel that it is a good deal and you have a win/win...If they don't, then either your demands are out of line, or you're not worth what you are asking in their eyes, or they can't pay you that without harming the company's survival. In any case, their is a decision in most cases that is likely, either you'll quit and find another company to work for, or they will let you go when your demands are too much to justify.

Good for you. I don't.
This is why I support collective bargaining.
I suggest you stay away from the docks then. :lamo

Why's that? I don't have to support unions to have union affiliated friends....:shrug:
So, you call me a "wetback" in a PM, and now we are friends?
