Boss collaboration to suppress wages is rational capitalist exploitation

id570939393

The desire for profit incentivizes Canadian bosses to collaborate, share information, and conspire to prevent workers from demanding higher wages. By the lights of the free market, this is rational behavior. It is what enables them, as capital owners, to take a larger portion of the value created by their workers. Regardless of whether their wealth is acquired through legal or illegal means, it is all unjustly obtained. This is the reality of workaday capitalist exploitation
