The 1970 Postal Strike In The 1970's

Given the harsh working conditions that workers are put through, such as long working hours, consecutive working days without rest, and often even abuse and torture, workers are simply not paid enough in return. To begin, minimum wage levels in countries such as Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia are significantly lower than that of the United States. The federal minimum wage per hour in the United States stands at US$7.25, while it is US$1.22 in Thailand, US$0.72 in Philippines and US$0.50 in Indonesia (Wikipedia, n.d.). And yet workers are still frequently paid less than these minimums, at amounts that are barely sufficient to survive on even after considering the lower cost of living. Though many of the developing Asian countries have official minimum wage levels, the lack of reinforcements and regulations remain a huge problem (Wong,

People were afraid and concerned since they had a major insufficiency of jobs, supplies and shelter. Many companies began to enforce wage cutbacks and increased workload. Relief was not being offered to all the unfortunate Canadians who did not have a job. Many people were laid off from factories which meant that supplies were scarce as not many people could afford to provide for their family’s, people turned to the government to find a solution. I believe that their expectations were much too high as the government was struggling too.

People may say, “if they work hard and acquire jobs and save up they’ll be able to achieve whatever their definition of the American Dream is.” That is not the case for most people though. Some people work about 3 jobs a day, but still are unable to get off of the streets. The money they do earn goes to buying food rather than inside their piggy banks. We should also take into consideration the immigrants.

There is an increasing amount of soldiers getting discharged. And if the soldier don’t get an honorable discharge the soldier don’t get all of his/hers benefits. He would, how ever, have got some benefits of being a veteran. Because there are more soldiers getting discharged, they will not have enough money to survive .

Women encounter greater problems than men with regards to adjusting work and private life. Family, care and household duties are not equally shared. More women than men choose to take parental leave as women often borne the task of taking care their family members.

According to a survey of working parents done by Pew Research Center (2015), it is found that 39 percent of mothers took time off to take care of their children or family and 27 percent responded that they have to quit their career.

But the salary was very poor for the indentured servants during not improving much of their quality of life. People were paid very little as 50￠for 10 hours of work if they were lucky. With families not making enough, kids young as 10 years old, would learn a trade in the matter of weeks to begin working because of the demand of products. The cost of living was such little $4.00 a week for rent although during this time was unaffordable by most families so the kids pay, even with it being so little would help with the family’s expenses. Unfortunately, this meant that kids would become endangered by heavy machinery in factories but were still forced to

Strikes are only taking people out of the work force for however long they go on. Without work people aren't usually able to support their family's. In some cases people can get by for a little bit wthout a change in their lives, but after a certain amount of time funds run out without a steady supply of income. In The Grapes of Wrath we saw how the migrant workers lives changed dramatically when they went on strike. Many if not all of the strikers family's couldn't afford the necessities for survival, and what for just to prove a point.

One of the main issue was the lack of communication and understanding between the key decision makers and IT team. These two parties were very disconnected in

The aftermath of warfare is never positive. Throughout history warfare has negatively impacted society and those living in it. The end of World War I led to a period of unrest in Canada because of rising unemployment, the spreading of the Spanish Flu and increasing negative treatment towards women. Rising unemployment after World War I, led to much tension amongst Canadians. Evidence of this was when war factories shut down because war supplies were no longer needed now that the war had ended, this left many people unemployed (Canadian War Museum).
