They're striking, and making threats, but i don't want to order my companies about, so I'm not really sure what to do, so I'll ask the more experienced heads, which is better for the economy? Should I bully the corporations into paying the workers, or should I give them leave to fire the strikers?

If I were you, I would allow the miners a higher wage, because that means that the miners will be able with the new moneys to spend more, and this will create new market for your other corporations, and such, and on the long run it will give you a better economy, or ate least I doubt it will do any harm.
Allowing corporations to fire workers on the spot would just create a masse of homeless people, which may attempt a rebelion against your regime
Or at least, that's my point of view

Workers are silly peasants but still they are people, so give them a decent wage and you'll feel better for improving the lives of imaginary people
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

I don't know how mcuh effect ti has on your economy, but I do know that the last time I had the issue, I came down on the side of business, and it resulted in a huge drop in the rate, which may appeal to you...Comment

I tend to dismiss this issue because frankly, neither option sits well with me. I feel that forcing companies to increase wages by 20% over two years is a bit "over the top", while I'm definitely not going to allow anybody to fire people without good reason. If Guardinia was a real country, I'd try to arrange something in between. Since I can't do this in the game, I prefer not to follow either recommendation."Politics is to say you are going to do one thing while you're actually planning to do someting else - and then you do neither."

They won't spend their wages- they will merely squander and save. The poor have no need for wealth.If I were you, I would allow the miners a higher wage, because that means that the miners will be able with the new moneys to spend more, and this will create new market for your other corporations, and such, and on the long run it will give you a better economy, or ate least I doubt it will do any harm.
No, you just replace the greedy infidels with people who actually need the wage.Allowing corporations to fire workers on the spot would just create a masse of homeless people, which may attempt a rebelion against your regime
They will work regardless of your wage- as long as you have a large enough and well paid police force, they can do nothing to oppose you!-->Visit CGN!

Actually, even if they "squander" of "save" it, they're sitll helping the economy; if they spend it, they've generated revenue for the people they "squandered" it on, and if they save it, they allow the banks to invest it.They won't spend their wages- they will merely squander and save.

I don't think so, poor people ask for higher wages because they need those money, and they need the money becayse they need to buy something.
A good economy needs money to go around, not to stay in just one place, cause it is the people who are already rich who do not spend it, because they already have everything and do not need to spend or invest, people who are not rich need to buy things, and they need money for it.

Actually, rich people do invest - they invest in companies to make themselves more rich, or they just keep the money in the bank for the interest, in which case the bank invests it.Comment

No, because if they keep the money, then they probably won't invest it, fearing things such as bank collapse ,etc in their quaint ways.Actually, even if they "squander" of "save" it, they're sitll helping the economy; if they spend it, they've generated revenue for the people they "squandered" it on, and if they save it, they allow the banks to invest it.
They do not have the capital to buy bonds, anyway, and help your government... rich people can buy bonds.-->Visit CGN!

Ah, but Poda, head of the senate thinks that it would be a waste of money to educate the poor... In Iguana Fire, we export our poor, tired, weak, and infirm to other, nearby nations... or set them adrift on the sea to die. It has been that way for 100 years, and it has got Iguana Fire to where it is today... 135th out of 151 nicest

Why would it be a waste of money to educate them? Do you consider it a waste of money to make your population more productive?Comment

I educated them, if it calms you down tacitus.Read Blessed be the Peacemakers | Read Political Freedom | Read Pax Germania: A Story of Redemption | Read Unrelated Matters | Read Stains of Blood and Ash | Read Ripper: A Glimpse into the Life of Gen.
