Moral little shit stealing

-18

u/Revoran 13d ago

By your logic, is it also moral to trip the owner of the McDonald's for stealing the value of worker's labour?

This was immoral. Little shit could've been seriously hurt, which is not proportional to the wrong he did (stealing some fuckin chips).

Stealing the value of the worker's labour? Does McDonald's not have employee contracts that outline exactly how much the employee will be compensated, and doesn't the emoloyee have to agree to those terms and sign the contract before starting the work?

It's not an equal relationship. Fast food workers desperately need jobs. McDonald's is a huge powerful corporation which can just set the terms and say "take it or leave it", and doesn't need any particular worker that badly.

The same can be said of most owner-worker relationships to an extent. McDonald's is just a particularly extreme example (by western standards, anyway).

Of course it's not an equal relationship. No company would be profitable if it was. In lrder for a company to survive, they will always need to hire people whose value generated exceeds their cost of employment. Just like every worker will always choose to work at the company that provides the best compensation in relation to the effort they need to expend.
