For decades the Tories have resorted to economic terrorism to bully unions who choose to support a decent wage while CEO's have increased their pay packets 940% since 1978, today that's 351 times the size of workers pay. #Libertarian #GeneralStrike

Here's why worker wages haven't increased as quickly as CEO compensation: high unemployment (which forces workers into accepting the lowest wages possible), globalization (which allows companies to find the cheapest workers in the world), the erosion of unions>

(which makes it harder for workers to collectively bargain), low labor standards (incl low min wage), increase in non-compete clauses (which makes it hard for workers to find better wages in their industry) and domestic outsourcing (like shifting to a workforce of freelancers)

Brexit will see Tories corporate backed stranglehold on avg families incomes forcing desperate people to work for even less in the private sector/charter city, workers rights abolished, benefits gone, workers will commute back to slums, ordinance on low income housing bypassed.
