The amount of those wages was agreed upon when the job was accepted. An obligation to increase those wages does not exist unless it is in the better interest of the owner. That's how Capitalism works.If you don't like working for someone else, go into business for yourself. Then you can give all the money you want to your employees.</blockquote>
