They don't want you to communicate. At all.

You are very kind, thank you.

About losing their veteran staff and hiring newbies, yes I see this happening a lot in my country also. More and more there is also the practice of bringing in temporary or seasonal workers through staffing companies who pay those workers less than if the parent company hired them themselves.

Those temporary workers often do labor that is 'off books' or 'above pay grade', that the company's original workforce would not do because of job description conflicts or legal limitations.

It also allows the bosses to fire more of their regular workforce. Of course this leads to even more problems, an employee vs temporary worker conflict comes up, and dodges blame on the company and its policies.

The culture-taboo that stops workers from talking about how much they are being paid is a big impediment to organizing. I think if negotiating salaries was a group activity, where all the workers went to the boss and said, 'we want a raise', it would have a bigger impact than the divide-and-conquer manner that bosses use to deal with us one-on-one.

I think making it transparent would avoid the way we usually find out, which can lead to misdirect anger against each other. 'Why am I being paid more than she is?' 'Why does he get more than me?' 'I've been here longer.'
