The LA Times recently quoted a worker who said, “Managers say, if you don’t want to work, you can leave, but there are hundreds of people waiting for a job.”
Using this threat, companies squeeze more work out of each worker and reduce the number of workers. As a result, the rate of profit companies make per worker has risen 34 percent since 2004.
Think of how many more workers could be employed – at decent wages – if that 34 percent were put to meet our needs and not their profits!
