This is also true if humans in general, at all stations in life, including union members and union leaders. Is there any offer a union would refuse on the grounds that’s too much?


Is that true? Feels like you are begging a huge question and also assuming everyone has to exist in a capitalist society forever.


It will still be true under not-capitalism. Perhaps it won’t be measured with money but it will exist.


People like getting more money, but they don't die without it. You can get a job that pays just enough to pay your bills and work at it until you die. Companies can't do that under capitalism. They take on debt and require growth to pay back their investors, or they don't take on debt and get undercut by a competitor who does.
