Κεφάλαιο προς εργάτες: Αν μας περιορίσετε, πάμε Κίνα...

...γι' αυτό ας τους ανατρέψουμε εντελώς:


"Τι έκανε λέει; Σκέφτεστε να μας περιορίσετε τα μπόνους μας; Αν είναι έτσι, τα μαζεύουμε και φεύγουμε" λένε τα επονομαζόμενα "golden boys"...
Πάντως, το Λονδίνο είναι παραδοσιακά το #1 χρηματοπιστωτικό κέντρο του κόσμου, αν φύγουν, και ειδικά αν φύγουν για Ασία, όπως ήδη βέβαια ψιλογίνεται, θα μιλάμε για μεγάλη ανατροπή στο χρηματοπιστωτικό τομέα

City in uproar over new bonus rules
The City of London is facing one of the biggest threats to its competitiveness after the publication of new guidelines on how European banks can pay their staff.
There was dismay across the City yesterday after the Committee of European Banking Supervisors released a set of compensation guidelines that many fear could lead to more businesses quitting London for countries with less onerous rules.

Την ίδια ώρα, το τελευταίο μεγάλο παράδειγμα εταιρείας όπου η εργοδοσία κλείνει εργοστάσια στη "Δύση", και πάει στην "Ανατολή", αυξάνοντας έτσι τα κέρδη της λόγω των εκεί μισθών πείνας[*], είναι η Hewlett Packard:


Hewlett Packard to cut 1,300 UK jobs
Computer giant Hewlett Packard (HP) is to cut a further 1,300 jobs in the UK and switch work overseas, unions have claimed.

The cuts, which come on top of up to 900 job losses announced in June, were immediately attacked by Unite as "butchery" of the company's UK workforce while the jobs were exported to different locations abroad. Nearly 4,000 jobs have now been shed at HP in the UK over the past two years, with the figure now set to rise to nearly 6,000 by next April, Unite said. Peter Skyte, Unite national officer, said staff morale had hit rock bottom following "quarter after quarter" of redundancy rounds. "It is becoming impossible for the workforce to work while they have an axe continuously over their heads," he said. Alex Lock, an employment partner at Beachcroft law firm, said HP was acting within the law when it came to moving the jobs offshore. "Lots of companies are basically shipping off some parts of their basic workforce functions to countries like India and Africa." He added the trend had "accelerated" during the recession as businesses were under pressure to cut costs. "You can get people there [overseas] to do essentially the same tasks, or provide the same technical facilities, but pay them a 10th of what you'd pay them over here."

[*]Η πείνα πάντως αυτή δε φαίνεται να την ενοχλεί - άλλωστε, η πείνα αυτή αφορά τους εργάτες, όχι την εργοδοσία, που απεναντίας σε αυτήν ακριβώς την πείνα βασίζεται για να μεγιστοποιήσει τα κέρδη της

Όσο για το "ηθικό" των εργατών στην HP, στις ΗΠΑ ρωτήθηκαν για το νέο διευθυντή του, και πήραν απαντήσεις του στιλ:

"We Are No Different Than Printers Or Laptops, Just Covered In Flesh."

Ενώ σε άλλη έρευνα, το 80 των εργαζόμενων στις ΗΠΑ δήλωσαν δυσαρεστημένοι με τις δουλειές τους...
