Understanding Risk

Personally I was hoping it would be a sticky that people could refer to if ever they thought that labour risked as much as the investor.

It has showed up in almost all of Le Jacquelope’s, as well as the union busting threads, most recently here:

There is a misconception that employees are entitled to share in the profits, because there is a misconception that employees share in the risk.

Both a coal miner and a firefighter face risk in the form of injury/death, and in both cases each understand that risk and are compensated for it. If the level of risk is too high, they are free to work elsewhere. (with that said, it is NOT okay for management to have poor safety standards and procedures).
