In addition, the union has demanded an end to varying tiers of #wages for factory jobs; a 32-hr wk w/ 40hrs of pay; the restoration of traditional defined-benefit #pensions for new hires who now receive only 401(k)-style retirement plans; & a return of cost-of-living pay raises, among other benefits."

For anyone who has ever argued that #voting has little effect, the higher incidence of voting among pensioners seems to give them a degree of 'protection' unavailable to other classes of people in need of state support;
and don't forget, the #tripplelock will ensure state pension rises will nearly match #inflation, unlike most #wages

3120 followers · 9874 posts · Server zirk.usCan it be any surprise that after a decade of stagnant real #wages, the dire state of UK #management practice, the continued media focus on celebrity culture (where the talentless but 'entertaining' are rewarded) & a #Tory government that has made it its #business to shove money to its mates, that a significant minority of young people increasingly do not see a clear link between hard work and a 'better life'.
The only Q. is how fast is this feeling spreading?

These are not just city employees. This is everywhere where big companies are making more profits than actually taking care of their people.”

3106 followers · 9810 posts · Server zirk.usQ. which sectors nominal #wages are rising fastest?
so in the three months to June this is what (annualised) rises looked like:
#Retail - 7.7%
#Hospitality - 6.5%
#Manufacturing - - 8.2%
#construction - 5.8%
#health sector - 6.8% and
#financialservices - 9.4%
none of these (even the financial services) are enough to make up for the fall(s) in real wages over the last decade!
#inflation is coming from somewhere else.... might it be the 'maintenance' of #profits do you think?

1.2 crore MGNREGS workers will not be paid because they are not on Aadhaar-based wage system
The fourth extension for mandatory payments under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme via Aadhaar Based Payments System ends on August 31. As the numbers stand, out of the total 26 crore job card holders, 41.1% are still not eligible for this mode of payment. The Ministry of Rural Development has ruled out any more extensions, arguing that among the active workers, only 18.3% are ineligible.

The United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty.
Not a tragic mix-up, though. That military spending helps maintain control of resources and markets for the richest Americans, whereas an army of poor people benefits them, too, by keeping wages low.

"… women’s earnings losses are much higher than men’s, with the difference persisting and growing five years after job displacement. … One important reason for women’s higher earnings losses is their much higher propensity to take up part-time or mini-job employment after displacement"
