What Does the IWW Mean By ‘Abolition of the Wage System’? �by IWW Vancouver Island https://www.vancouveriww.org/mean-by-abolition-wage-system/ When we are employed, we get as wages only a part of the value of what we produce. We are therefore robbed at the point of production; this is the true meaning of exploitation. Besides our wages, the product of our labor goes to pay for raw materials, for research and development, for things our community needs (paid for in the form of taxes) and for profits taken by the already rich owners and managers. Until we who produce this wealth can decide ourselves how it will be used, there is no such thing as a “fair” wage or salary for any of us. Original article was written by the Vancouver General Membership Branch in 1984. #IWW #unions #Wobblies #labor #workers #DirectAction #OBU (fb)
