The effects of restrictions on shipping in the Red Sea and Panama Canal are being felt around the world. Global trade is under immense strain amid rising freight costs.
And people don’t ask for fair wages, because people I talk to haven’t had a raise in 10-20 years, even though inflation went crazy over the past 10 years.
You said nothing about unions at all.
And people shouldn’t have to join a union or ask to get paid fairly. Again, a privileged idea that takes corporations off the hook.
People definitely should ask to be paid fairly. What is the point otherwise? To roll over and get fucked by any company willing to accept your skillset to make them insane amounts of money?
I would be fine joining a petition forcing companies to at least go inline with inflation with their wages, but you did not propose it, you are just trying to be angry at something I didn’t say.

What the fuck.
Wow. You’re still making it their job to ask and not up to the company to pay the fair wage and you don’t even realize how pro-corporate that is.
What the fuck. I keep saying I hate large companies, and they are literally abusing people by not raising peoples’ wages over 10 year time-frames.
