If a person were treated/paid less than the worth of their labors value

It makes sense when they just kinda follow along not like they have the resources to go do something better so. Yea psychology. Lets get to the bottom of this.

Any employee is paid less than the worth of their labor's value(*). Where do you think do profits come from? 😑

(*) For details, see Dr. K. Marx, "The Capital", chapter 6, "The Buying and Selling of Labour Power".

Labor is generally non-skilled so the pay is low and the work is physically hard

@Axeroberts i dont have one im saying i need to get one to earn a gainful wage. Was accepted still need to enroll

I think it's such a hard on but at the bottom of it is you are worth in wages what you accept so if you accepting something that's lower you are obviously desperate and need the money and the person offering the little is obviously either greedy or also in a tough spot so it's conditional but I think fairly stating we have free will and we can say no I can't do it for that wage

@exchrist yeah they are really really dogs you know they force you to pay exuberantly for the opportunity to have good health and what is the later option to just not pay and stay sick or die that's a topic that makes me mad

exchrist · 31-35

@Justme5868 yes its infuriating obvious exploitation and yetvis both allowed andvencouraged. Fml apparently

Justme5868 · 36-40, M

@exchrist there no solution except to accept it you know ... it's sad but we will pray for good health and abundance in finance so it can't affect us .. not that I'm in that place at all but I pray for it

I get paid the legal minimum wage. Its not negotiable.

exchrist · 31-35

@Jacko1971 ok and do u feel u r being appropriately compensated? If you were might u do other things?

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

If I want to work I have to accept the wage. Of course I would like more. My wages cover the bills but not a lot else. I have no qualifications and I have no specialist skills so my options are limited.

@Jacko1971 i get it but my point is theres a labor shorage bc so many ppl see this too work forever to barely survive. Yet when the worker is clearly suffering they make sure the boss gets more money. Im really just trying to understand this one

Justme5868 · 36-40, M

@Jacko1971 don't worry brother that is our main purpose in life is to work and provide and if you doing that you are doing the necessary to be an example to the youth and that's all we want is to empower our youth with good ethics of qualified or not we work hard to get what we need to survive ... but consider furthering your knowledge by studying at a night school it can only benefit youamd help you to have more self worth... but keep keeping on that what we need to do
