Fair Remuneration and Productivity

What is Fair Remuneration?

It is definitely not minimum wage. No doubt everyone has their own idea of fair remuneration for work performed. Ardent capitalists, boards of directors and shareholders will consider the lowest possible wage they can get away with paying their workers to be too much! Their only interest is how much they put in their own pockets - I wonder what these individuals consider a fair minimum wage to be for the little real PRODUCTIVE work they do? Nowhere near that of the average employee's requirement is certain.

Fukushima - Let Engineers Engineer

Fukushima – the shit that happens when engineers must bow to committees.

The events transpiring in Fukushima over the last several weeks raise the question of culpability. Who is ultimately to blame?

Fair enough, it took a natural event to cause the devastation, BUT, in a nation that is used to earthquakes and tsunamis, and the only nation on the planet to have been targeted by nuclear weaponry, I would think safety concerns would by in the forefront of design engineers’ minds.

I believe we are seeing here a similar situation to that of the space shuttle ‘accidents’, of which “Challenger” is the one closest to everyone’s’ hearts.
