R10,000 a month - for example, machining parts. But at the end of the month you will only get R2,000. The boss keeps the rest. This is how the bosses get rich. The bosses are at war with each other.
Every company wants to be competitive.
This forces the boss to keep underpaying us and making us work long hours without benefits or proper pay. If the boss gave us the full value of our labour, he or she would go out of business. Also, to compete by cutting costs, the bosses replace workers with machines and with sub-contracted workers. Short of housing, education, food, money, decent transport, free time. Meanwhile, the rich have all the fine things of life, without doing more than play golf and exploit workers.
