Earnings

I think it is fair


If we are willing watch these sports then we are already saying that it is fair.......the money they earn doesnt come outta thin air or outta public funds...it isnt like the Gov't is saying "right we cant give nurses a pay rise because that money is earmarked for Lewis Hamilton"......his wages come from all the lucrative advertising, branding and ticket sales etc etc......from the punters spending their low wages to watch it......if it isnt fair then nobody will get involved.....they make the money so why shouldnt they choose how much of it to give their employees......they could pay them less and save some in a bank.....but then they wont get the driver that the want......what they wont do is say oh lets give that extra we've made to the nurses.




Do i agree with important workers not being paid more or being offered shit pay rises......NO.....it is the pits.....but that is a different debate altogether...at the end of the day they have it sussed......pay them just enough that when they are all fresh faced and looking for a career the money seems attractive......& then once they've been in 5 years it soon changes and how dare they get paid such a pittance........but lets just say they lowered it too much and nurses were on 13k a year then they'd have no nurses......so they are just chipping away bit by bit trying to find how low they can go before the nurses leave........& then they'll spend millions on a big recruitment drive and the next time they'll say right we cant go quite that low again........but we can try :'(
