This used to be a common practice for capitalists. The scrip is spendable only in the company store. We have to stop all such anticompetitive practices. Just a reminder, to stop the practice of getting paid in scrip the American workers had to take up arms and shoot some people. Look up Battle of Blair Mountain. It's not like the capitalists stopped the practice just because it was unpopular, lol. Nor did the anticompetitive practice of paying wages in scrip stop because people called their senators and wrote angry letters. permalink fedilink source parent
