Hi Paul C and Ian (and others): An alternative to paying more for someone who works more is to give the person who works more additional leisure time in compensation. A material incentive, after all, can take more forms than simply increased wages. As for 'working harder', I'm not sure what you mean. In all industries there tends to be an average productivity and intensity of labor. If the fear is workers 'slacking off' then I think that fails to grasp the different nature of the system. In solidarity, Jerry > We advocate equal payment to labour. If one person works harder and is more productive> as a result then they get more. As Marx says, payment according to labour is still> a right in inequality since productive capacities differ.> What we argue against is the idea that particular trades or professions as a whole> should be paid at a higher rate. _______________________________________________ ope mailing list ope@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope
