So why should workers strike and is it fair to ask for reasonable wages that can support your family?
"Well, workers produce the goods, build the houses, build the roads, transport the goods, heal the sick, repair what's broken, provide the services, work out the balance sheets, fight the wars, manage, clean and protect society. We provide the dual roles in the economy of worker and taxpayer, producer and consumer, service provider and service user. We are collateral, taxpayers, cannon fodder and consumers. Why do we live in poverty while the rich siphon our taxes to their offshore accounts and provide little use to society other than investing their inherited wealth for their own profits?"
We are the backbone of industry and the golden goose that lays the golden eggs, our lives get steadily worse as corporations make bumper profits. I stand with the workers!
