If some Mexican or China man is willing to do your job for a dollar a day then it should only pay a dollar a day right?An honest days work for an honest days pay.
When did the honest days pay drop out of the picture?
What do you consider an honest days pay?
Your wages are set by supply and demand. Your labor is only worth as much as your employer can find somebody else to do the same quality of work at the same pay.
In other words, if you don't think you are making enough, quit your job, and your employer finds somebody else to do the same job for the same money, that's all the money you were worth.
If you quit your job, and your employer finds somebody to do the job for less money, you were being overpaid for your work.
If you quit your job, and your employer must pay more money to find somebody to do your work, then you were underpaid.
Your value as an employee is set by how many other people can do your kind of work. The less people that can do your job, the more money your labor is worth.
we should be satisfied with slave wages because there are so many poor people in this world who don't even make that?
