Wage slavery?

from what they teach me here at the university and from all i have read, it is not the wage itself(nominal income) but the purchase power that matters(given by real income).

researches show that generally a multinational company offer a higher ammount in wages tahn national companies, for the same activities. and they also offer more opportunities that actually did not exist before for the people there.

take child labour for example. if the children are not allowed to work in a certain company they would not have the moeny to feed themselves and put themselves to school and many may resort to thievery, prostitution begging...

so what 18 dollars can buy in us ...about 4 dollars can buy in mexico...i dunno the exact currency parity.

you cannot ask a company to pay 18 bucks an hour if what he produces in that country is not worth 18 bucks...
