by Organization generates revenue while paying laborers less than subsistence costs
Corporation Profits While Compensating Workers Below Survival Costs
An Indian corporation announced Friday record annual profits of 450 million rupees while paying workers below poverty wage levels. The arrangement allows profitable operation through systematic worker underpayment and subsistence-level compensation.
“Workers are expensive,” explained corporate executive. “We’ve minimized worker compensation to levels below survival costs. This maximizes corporate profits while workers survive through supplementary subsistence.”
Workers earn approximately 3,000 rupees monthlyfar below living costs of 8,000 rupees in the region. “We’re subsidizing worker survival through below-market wages,” noted executive. “Workers appreciate employment despite inadequate compensation.”
Labor advocates questioned whether subsistence-level wages constitute fair compensation. Company responded: “Fair is what we’re willing to pay. Workers who don’t accept our wages can find work elsewhere at similar wages.”
