[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1227030, member: 24302"] Without answering anyone specifically let me just say this. The problem isn't that workers are demanding much more than they are worth. It's employers constantly pushing down wages and trimming benefits, seeking the lowest point that people will still stay to do the job, while seeking ever increasing productivity levels. They do this because they know in an economy like this they can get away with it because there are few options. And why? Is it because it's necessary? No, it's because they want as much money as possible for themselves. No matter the difficulty placed on their employees. The result being employees feel they are being squeezed in a vise. I never said employers should be made to do this. And this is naïveté on my part but they should do it because it's the right thing to do. Employees shouldn't be seeking a workers' paradise with fantastic pay and benefits for minimal effort. That'll ruin a company. But companies shouldn't go to the other extreme either, which is what is happening now in this country. There's nothing admirable about taking advantage of others, working them into the ground to make an extra buck or two for those that frankly don't need more than their already generous salaries. But the stock is where the big money is, so ruin people in pursuit of riches? Just plain wrong. [/QUOTE]
