I agree, however, I don't see the incentives that would motivate change to the current system.

Where is the mass employee outrage and "voting with our feet" for the wage suppression some of our largest employers supported? We can all have high minded ideals but at the end of the day our options are often VERY limited, as few would willingly take a massive pay cut for their ideals, especially given the inherent commons problem in that many people would need to do so simultaneously for the powers that be to "Feel" it.

How do we actively motivate this change when most of the power and incentive dynamics are _not_ in the employee's favor? (I mean this as an honest question, I don't see any easy answers)
