How the power balance between workers and employers is shifting | DW Business 

i disagree, that's exactly what you should expect, because it's been like this for most of human history.

​@@KSfreaky Just because it's been that way it doesn't mean it's a good thing and it doesn't mean we shouldn't do something about it.

@@tammy2760 i agree with that, all i’m saying is that expectations are not based on real world situation though.

@@KSfreaky Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. Have a nice day!

It hasn't been like for all of human history. Just the past 15 years. It goes by percentages. In the 90s and early 2000s you wouldn't say the same thing. There is too much speculation going on from top to bottom. The top getting most of rewards and the bottom kids playing and dreaming of being stockbrokers​@@KSfreaky

Any inflation is bad.

It should be ended with dollarization.

Even if it's only 0.1%, that's still inflation and still bad LoL. I am a small business owner and inflation make my business down because the cost of business is rising up while consumer confidence is still the same or even dropping. Currency should be backed by gold and stop the non-sense money printing called QE I am from Indonesia, our inflation YoY in 2023 is "Only" 1.5% but people still very angry with that

​@@amroagami573 well, it's not bad if wages rise together with inflation rate. You can't use same amount of money for years, economy must grow.

@@fajarcahyono3693 but there is one big issue, there is no that gold amount to back amount of money circulating across the globe.

This is the only reason they are trying to ramp up immigration. To get cheap labor and underpay current employees

Preach

When you chart the math it makes sense why he says it's unrealistic. Capital is hyper inflated despite the comparatively low wages, but this is because of not enough competition. Capital would deflate significantly if we broke up all of the major companies and gutted the zombie companies as well as killing off the scam companies whom are consuming all investment with only pyramid scheme returns. If we fail to break up major companies then our economy is going to collapse in it's entirety and the upper rich will not survive. It's this final problem that the rich aren't hearing correctly, they rightly are trying to defend themselves, but see the demands as threats when, in reality, it's possible for their cooperation to benefit them. They just can't see how losing something works out for them in the long run despite carrying that same argument for the poor. It's perhaps because of their dismissal for the needs of the poor that leads them to dishonesty and thus unfortunately their disconnect. If we're going to recover we cannot be disconnected. The rich need to be brought back into the fold. They need to see the investment opportunity in the poor.

That's not possible with current Germany's economic model. If you will pay more, export will cost more and Germany lose concurrency with other countries. So Germany need to keep wages low to be competitive. Or finally change economic model to something more realistic.

​ @NullTypeError nonsense. stop repeating the tropes they put out to mislead.

@@abody499 who are they? You can check export percentage in GDP of Germany and US to compare

​ @NullTypeError executives

The export oriented model is dead anyway because China won't keep growing at the rates it used to + all the geopolitics. Better to transition sooner than later.

Who will decide what if fair and what not? Another bureaucrat that should be paid from your taxes?🤣

The strike comittees maybe? We can turn it around and ask that by what right the government tells to the workers, that they actually have to work to maintain that so called acceptable level of service. If they decide to go all in, and refuse to work, thats their choice, if the state tells, that they can only reduce their output, that means, they also have to put their leverage against the employer.@@NullTypeError

So basically communism?

​@@prasadshirke7517Do you even know what communism is?

Haha true

You gave the reason why Ukraine will never actually join the EU.

Ridiculous

And the workers will pay the bill. Not the rich!

The way the reporter was asking questions is blaming the workers for striking. She was taking sides.

TRIVIAL

Wrong

It´s hardly imploding, its more about a general change in our employment-market. Since we are short-staffed in certain areas (especially those, who are pretty low paid for their work efforts), the leverage for this Jobgroups is changing rapitly. So their Unions can and are asking for more and more wages, free days, other compensations etc. . And most of them are right, with their demands imo. The market makes the price... And as long the Job-Market wont change, this will get more and more. The Protest of the farmers and other self-employers are just paralell and another problem, which needs to be adressed. But all in all, they are not related.

This is like saying Sweden is imploding.

Ridiculous nonsense

There is a tree working really hard to make the oxygen you are wasting, you should go and apologize to it

Implementing automation through the use of robots requires a technical team or skilled laborers, which can be more costly than traditional labor, especially during a pandemic. Technical and trained labor is often in short supply and can command higher wages. Therefore, it's important to carefully consider the costs and benefits of automation versus traditional labor when making decisions about implementing new technology.

Are you saying that Merkel's corruption is okayish? She made Germany's economy totally depended on Russian gas and oil. How is Zelensky connected to that?

The Russian bits in here are pathetic

it is not true!
