    No, not what they want. What they have to, wich mostly depends on degree of organization in the workforce and instutionalized results of past organization.

    Besides that wages oscillate around the worth it takes to reproduce the capacity to work.

    If they’d pay what they want (always less) market economies could not persist, since they would destroy their workforce right away
