Fast food strikes to massively expand: “They’re thinking much bigger”

[Hekate]

38. Concepts of fair price and just wages go back to the Medieval Catholic Church

If a job needs doing, a worker is entitled to a just wage. Period.

Never in my life did I make as much per hour as what I now pay an immigrant couple to clean my house, but that was then and this is now. I got paid $1.35/hour in a cannery -- in 1964. I got paid $800/month take home pay as a very skilled secretary -- in 1981. I don't base their wages on what I used to make, I base it on the cost of living in this area and the fact I need the job done and can afford them twice a month for a couple of hours.

Get over yourself. You are not interested in fairness and justice, I can tell that. You're right: there's not a chance we'll get anything remotely like just wages in this country -- not as long as people like you think those who suffer deserve to suffer, and not as long as people imagine justice will come from the bosses.

It's not that you're ignorant -- you're blind.
