My father died in 1967 at 81 years. He taught me that if you are working for pay, then the person paying you must make a profit from your labor, otherwise he will not be able to afford to pay you.
Labor unions take notice.

Labor may be in the form of direct or indirect cost. You're talking about municipal workers. No profit is to be made from their services. Those labor costs are directly related to taxation. The "profit" could be characterised as a lesser burden on taxpayers... we're the ones who can't afford to pay them.Just playing devil's advocate here. How does this advice play into a service worker's pay? For example, how do you make a profit (and quantify that profit) from an officer, firefighter, EMT, social worker, teacher, etc.?
As far as production work, I wholeheartedly agree with you on your father's advice. But not all jobs are production jobs.
