They’re on strike because they want more money? Why should they get more…..
…I didn’t. Where did this attitiude come from? I got shafted on my pay deal so it’s correct that you get shafted as well. Complete nonsense but it’s the exactly the type of mentailty big companies want us to have. Make it socially unacceptable to complain about your low pay rise. How did we get so brainwashed?
Of course the argument against is “if you don’t like it you can leave”. A completely immoral stance to have. A job is not a shop you go into where, if you dont like the staff you leave. In a job you invest what, 25% of your waking life in making sure you do a good job. You make friends with the people you work with, you make friends with the people you deal with outside of the company, you get to know your job intimately. And the answer is, if you don’t like it you can leave? Complete nonsense, unless your manager is the owner you have just as much right to work for that company as him or her.
Obviously big business promote this idea that its “Capitalism”, a free market economy. If people don’t like the pay deal they can leave, well NOT if you take your social responsibilities seriously as an employer. I have nothing against capitalism, but just because its capitalist, doesnt mean its acceptable that social responsibility and peoples emotions come a distant second.
As the saying goes, united we stand, divided we fall, lets support each other instead of peddling the wishes of corporations by saying it every man for himself. As big businesses know, the key to succes is co-operation.
