and is it them too who employ the workers
It could also be said is it not them who profit of the workers?
It should be a mutually benificial agreement, at the moment I would say that the employer has the uperhand and takes an unfair slice of the pie (in most cases).
I take your point but had the company I worked for gone broke, it was the boss who would have lost his company/investment. He would not have ask me for a hand out to help.

Thus in the good times I expected him to make money on his investment. That of course meant treating me in a way I was happy with (beneficial agreement). Had I not been happy with 'my piece of the pie' I would have got another job.
