Fair payment to be scrapped if National get in

[Praktica]

Fairly obviously fair pay is about fair pay; i.e. a reasonable amount of money for a reasonable amount of work.

You'd think - but that isn't what it is about.

Fair pay doesn't mean extra effort cannot be rewarded. It just means people who work should be paid fairly. It is about the employers really, more than the employees.

So imagine a base rate being set at the fair pay level. Productivity then allows for additional reward...

Yeah, but the reality is vastly different; employers will say that the Govt. has determined what a fair wage is for a certain job, and that's that - coupled with the fact that directors now have a legal responsibility to their shareholders to get the best possible return, unnecessary pay rises will potentially open them up to legal recourse. 

This type of thing benefit the ones who don't really want to work hard, or who want to do the bare minimum, whilst people who want to work hard for a greater return will not - accordingly the hard workers will work less... It's like that old fable; let me dig it out:

Lot's of handwaving and supposition here, but behind it is the same old discredited myth, happily propagated by employers and their stooges. What they want is everyone on the same, low pay, to maximise what they can take out of the business. Got to pay for the mcmansion, the boats and the porsche...
