Cde Tsineng, I agree with you when you imply that the differences between workers and the capitalists are of an irreconcilable nature. Your reasoning of the issue as a matter of worker greed leaves much to be desired. I will come back to address this error in analysis. The assertion of unreasonableness among some employers as a cause of strikes in other cases is misleading. It creates an impression that there's reasonable or fair theft or exploitation yet there is no such. What settle differences is mainly the perceived balance of forces in relation to the class rivals. Balance of forces is the point of equilibrium. This is not fixed but shifts with the development of class forces. More on this will be said when time so permit. Enough to say this is limited to the quantitative change process. Turning to the issue worker's greed. Let me remind you my esteemed comrade that the extraction of surplus value takes place at the production point rather than the market place. Therefore the workers demand compensation for labor embodied as value in the product of their toil. Capital would like to have us believe that this is sharing of a profit that belongs to them. This is actually reduction of the exploitation burden that workers carry for centuries. What workers should be demanding is the end to all forms of exploitation of man by man. Gender neutral man.

Some of the demands are really genuine,while sometimes greediness drives some workers. The core issue that make the relationship sour is mainly sharing of profit,in majority of instances the employer want to get muc bigger portion and always try his best to give the workers minimum. What can be the solution to avoid this,because in most cases is a loose-loose situation. What are the other better options to assist growth. Let me pause for now.:::0:a0534a1742f6f7e1d1a8979adbd948d0:7d0:x::: -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you. Please POST your comments to [email protected] or reply to this message.
