Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
The wages of sin are death but by the time taxes are taken out it's just sort of a tired feeling.
There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible paying the highest wages possible.
In individual industries where female labour pays an important role any movement advocating better wages shorter working hours etc. would not be doomed from the start because of the attitude of those women workers who are not organized.
It's amazing to me that in the 42 years since President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law women today still receive fewer wages than men for the same work.
