over worked and underpaid!!!!!!!!!!

 

A lot of people all over the world are being over worked, yet underpaid. I've recently read an article that talks about Chinese workers being over worked and paid very little. These workers work hard to feed their families and they don't get paid a lot of money even when Chinese incomes  rise, the average wage of Chinese mainland workers is still less than half of the of the world's average when measured by global purchasing power. In the worlds average Chinese workers make about $660 a month while most countries make about $1,500 a month. Here is a quote from the article which i will explain further "Chinese mainland individuals need to earn 6,000 yuan, or $952 a month, to have purchasing power equal to the world’s average.". This quote to me tells us how these poor workers are being "robbed" from what they really deserve to earn a month and it shows us some numbers of how much is being kept from them. Most people don't care about how people from other countries are being under paid,but will they start caring if they hear some examples from their own country?   I have found an article that speaks about how people are being over worked and cheated out of their right full payment.  Here's a quote from the article  “Our wages are already at rock bottom,” this was said by a McDonald’s worker in Detroit named Sharnell Grandberry.  This article is telling us how these workers are being over worked and how on top of that they are being cheated out of the number of hours they worked.  So the quote ties in to all of this because these workers get overworked and paid so little yet they are still erasing hours even when they are already at rock bottom.  I have found one more article that to me relates to everything that I'm talking about.  I will now show you a quote that shows more about this problem going on. "Pay and working conditions for pilots have been an ongoing concern, especially in the last few years as airlines have eliminated benefits and lowered pay in order to remain competitive.". It is just unfair that they are cutting their pay just because it would benefit them.  This really is another example about the unfairness in most working environments.
