Re: rising productivity raises wages

"Is your employer more likely to pay you more if they make a higher profit or a lower profit?"

or on the other hand if i produce more the employer will pocket the difference and fuck the workers.

"Your bargaining position is much better if you know they can afford to pay you more, and even better if they need you."

do you know how many people are on the dole?

"Actually, corporation tax is one way of pushing up wages - higher wages means lower profits thus lower tax, as well as (theoretically) better staff."

Actually, corporation tax is one way of pushing up profits - higher profits means lower wages thus higher tax, as well as (theoretically) more frightened staff. (the walmart model)
