Most of them have never _heard_ of the LTV. They say rather, I'll cut my labor costs and make more profits <<Justin Schwartz Jon Flanders: I'm no economist but this doesn't ring true. The capitalists most certainly say to themselves that they must make the workers produce more by working harder, more intensively, for less. This is not just exploitation in the scientific sense but in the popular, in the gut sense. Why did the GM workers strike over overtime more than once in the last few years? --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
