The question is: who holds power in the relationship? If workers join together (unionize) they can demand a greater share of business' profits which are generated by those workers.
- Terr_ 2y agoI find myself thinking of a certain kind of economic hypocrisy that I think floats around in the background, and I'm not sure how to label it: A: "The new economic system will be based on markets which price items based on their marginal cost over basically anything else, so no more of that tricky old philosophical talk of 'true value' or 'what someone deserves.' Nope, it'll all be based on whatever lands between the two parties' negotiating positions. Totally fair." B: "Okay then, all of us individual workers will group together to improve our weak negotiating position." A: "No! You're doing it wrong! You don't deserve to be paid that much, your labor isn't truly that valuable!"
