The notion that workers are exploited makes no sense. In that sense does a company that wants to emploee someone with a rare talent such as a footballer be exploited by the employee? If so, you cant say all workers are exploited. And where does this come from anyway, what basis are workers exploited? Which companies are exploiting and how is this happening?
Employees do not and should not have all of the profits of a company. In a general sense, they do not have capital is risk. Their wages do not go down with profit, they have stable income. They often get paid before the products they produce are paid for. So salary needs to be financed by the business employing them. If there's anyone that exploits workers or is akin to slavery its the tax man. He takes his cut first regardless of the workers needs. At least with work, a worker can normally change jobs if not employer. But the taxman doesn't give any alternative and treats us as his property to take what he wants. (sorry about the non- gender neutral use of taxman :-)) |
