And you are BOTH wrong (and slightly right)
Hawke assumes that management contributes nothing to the process of
creating a product, and that is COMPLETE BS.

THe assumption however, that workers have no investment at stake, is
also hogwash. The fact that you as a manger can completely invalidate
that stake at a moments whim, does not make that investment, in time,
loyalty, experience and knowledge, any less true.


More Hawke isims
The Hollywood producers just found that out. No writers, no makie
money. No workers, no makie money.
And no producers et al NO MONEY EITHER.

Owners just don't want to be fair they
want the workers to do all the work and give them nothing so they can keep
all the profits for themselves. That isn't exactly a secret.

And it's no secret at all that the other side wants the same, just in
the other direction.




What's preventing anyone from opening their own enterprise or buying stock in
one? Workers are entitled to a paycheck for their time...nothing more.
Then you should expect NOTHING extra out of them. No staying late to
finish a rush job. No suggestions for improvement, no innovation,
NADA.

They
don't like it, there's the door, they are free to go find a job that pays more.
Unions are extortion organizations, nothing more.
By and large, I have to agree.

But they have served a purpose, and their threat acts to serve as a
counterbalance to the power-mad that would try to run roughshod over
the workers.
Its all a balance of power thing.
