    Haha, it’s usually worse than that. Especially if you do manual labor and don’t have a union. Friend of mine was receiving 6% of the value of his labor after we calculated it.

      Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you calculate the “value” of one’s labour? Like how would you do this for a school teacher?

      Different schools have different pay grades, different subjects, etc.

        If a private school makes 100 million a year in profit and pays you, the only employee 6 million that would be 6 percent of your value. I think.
