As an example, I guy I met lead a drivers strike at a large trucking company, saying they needed a pay rise.
I suggested that perhaps its not the companies fault, as they, (one who services the two major retailers), are constantly being screwed over in an effort for the big two to lower their cost bases and while I know he understood, he could not bring himself to accept the fact , being a unionist of cause.
You see, unless the company makes more profits, how on earth can they, short of dipping into their own pockets, pay the increase. Of cause that increase also brings with it additional costs such as super and work cover to name a couple.
People have to understand that as long as they seek out the bargains, and demand discounts, or shop online as an example, profits will be depleted and costs, including wages and other running costs, have to be cut.
I find it amazing how people expect a pay increase without realising, or accepting where the increase has to come from. To ignore this is to expect the employer to take a pay cut, just to give to the employee.
