Geez. thats a real shame that you don't like it. I think its fine.  I know a lady who works for a cleaning contractor. The ownership changed and to be kept on she needed to accept lower wages. She accepted because she needs the pay and she is a low skilled worker.  I don't think she should be blamed and vilified for accepting lower wages. I think the vilification and blame belongs to her boss who would not have kept her on if she refused.   
 You thought, as a striking low skilled person, that the only cost involved was you'd go without pay for a while. You were wrong. Thats not the fault of the people who took the employment right out from under you. The fault belongs with the managers who actually hired them to undermine and defeat the strike and probably pay them less to boot.  I know its surprising when the folks with the money play for keeps. But you blame the scabs.

   Bringing in lower skilled folks doe's indeed have a adverse effect on low skilled workers wages. But then, in your system, Self-supporting immigrants will most definitely have a depressive effect on low skilled wages. I suspect you know this. If so then you complaint against low wages is mere cover for what really bugs your arse.  The world isn't as it was 30-40 years ago. Things have changed. You don't like that. You think immigrants made change happen. And your are very very wrong.
