Workers in Private sectors deserve descent pension, descent pay as everybody else does. They are seriously under paid.
Nowdays the systematic problem is that all average workers, regardless in private sector or in public sector, are facing a tremendous downward pressure to be paid less and less while their workload are being pushed up more and more by the employers.
In public sector, because it's operated on tax dollars, the workers in public sector are in a better position comparing to their counterpart workers in private sector. Public sector workers are well paid, not under paid, but not over paid as many people believe (I was paid $25/hour in a private unionized company 25 years when I arrived in Canada)
In private secotr, a huge chunk of money is extracted by senior executives and shareholders, and less and less money was left for average workers. When people like Air Canada's CEO, Robert Milton, pocketed $86 million that is $10,000/year for 8,600 workers, plus the profits to owners, you can imagine how little is left for average workers. Majority workers in private sectors are seriously under paid.
We have to work incresingly longer hours to try to keep us afloat, often have to take cuts and make less than before while the costs of living keep going up.
It's an on-going war on average workers started 30 years ago by ruthless business, that has an insatiable appetite for more profits and the government on the back of average working people.
For the majority working people, the situation is going to get worse before it gets better one day when all workers fight back as one united group. |
