If you come a day later to work, your "boss" will be really angry and may fire you. If your "boss" pays you a day later, is all fine. #TradeRuinsEverything #tromlive

This one is not a direct consequence of trading itself, the problem here is that contracts do mention the days you have to work, but not the day you will get paid.

I wish you were right. But you are not. There are countless of examples that I personally know, where it states in the contract when you have to be paid, and they were not. So often it is tiring. And it is a consequence of trade since it makes humans prioritize their own selves, so those "bosses" do not care much about their "slaves".

Also, in the contract it is mentioned you need to work only 8h a day, but many times you work more than that.

All of these agreements, written or verbal, will never be respected simply because the trade relationship between the "boss" and the "worker" is imbalanced towards the "boss" who has a lot more power.

And stuff like this is why I'm so thankful for working in a team and having a union.
My team covers in case of emergency leave and my union makes sure they paycheck isn't late

That's good. I wonder tho how wide-spread and overall efficient these "unions" are. On top of that, it is quite concerning that we need them in the first place, it says a lot about the abuse of power in a trade society.
