Gets even worse when you have mouths to feed. It's not just you striking or quitting, it's them too. But then, it's also them being impacted indirectly by stress, lack of fair wages and lack of safe working conditions. Give your workers what they need and their families benefit too.
"Give your workers what they need and their families benefit too."
This implies that they care about what your family or what you need. Every business exists for the sole purpose of extracting money from something, they do EVERYTHING in their power to pay you the LEAST amount possible. All they want are meat machines that can make decisions, press the correct buttons, lift the heavy thing and listen to commands all as cheaply as possible.
It's pretty bad where I work, if you don't fight for a raise you never get one. I have coworkers who have a hard time speaking up (some don't even speak fluent English) and they've never gotten a raise in the 6 years I've known them because they never ask and the boss is more than happy to not have to spend a single dime more.
Being uneducated doesn't help either, I'm considered as valuable as the decayed dog droppings Mr.Dogwalker never picked up. Some might even argue the droppings are actually contributing resources back to the environment which is more valuable than my uneducated ass. But hey, my boss owns a helicopter so that's nice.
Education doesn't necessarily help. Being overeducated is a liability.
