    As for your previous posts, I believe a good strategy for unions is to ask for reduced working hours instead of increased wages. It seems silly to me that after a century of explosive increase in productivity, we still work as long as we did 100 years(-ish) ago. We've got more stuff, but not enough time to actually use our stuff.
    Perhaps a combination of both reduced working hours and paying people what they are truly worth instead of the lowest amount the employer can get away with...

    There is definitely something to be said about how we value certain types of labour nowadays.

    To give an idea.

    The research, carried out by think tank the New Economics Foundation, says hospital cleaners create £10 of value for every £1 they are paid.

    It claims bankers are a drain on the country because of the damage they caused to the global economy.

    They reportedly destroy £7 of value for every £1 they earn.
