How can exploited workers get pay raises or increased benefits? What tactics might they use? What role does gender play in salary negotiations?
Well one of the most affective ways is by joining a labor organization that works for workers rights, in other words an organized protesting or negation of some form that the worker can benefit a little more in both benefits and salary. Nevertheless the likeliness of this organized protesting or form of negation is not likely to succeed because the business benefits from paying low wages, which means more earnings for them and the government in the country, will not put much legislation on these companies because they too benefit by having major companies and other investors in their country.
Considering that many of the workers are mainly women, most women will not complain about work habits, nor working hours (including wages) and that includes protesting against the company because, the company can find others to replace them with since it’s a monotonous job that does not require much education. Even the most effective tactic is organized protest and bring to the government ears, it will really hard to bring employers together just like in the history of the United States where such events like the Triangle Shirtwaist tragedy happen and catalyzed the creation of labor organizations with regulations.
