If they had to get 2 salaries they simply wouldn't get hired.
Aka, the fuck people with disability method of thinking.
1 persons worth of work
But they're not. They're 2 people. Who are... Conjoined. That's what it means.
It sucks but thats the way it goes.
... That's just how you think about it.
You're also just discovering the hardship people with disability face and how often they accept unfair conditions because of the lack of opportunity they face, the same happens for many vulnerable people. Have you ever wondered why illegal Mexicans do insanely hard labour for unfair pay?
Because they have no other choice in an exploitative system.
You're so close to experience an emancipation moment. I think that is fascinating.
Yeah, no shit, they're 2 people, but they're teachers in the US
If they had to be paid 2 salaries, no district in the country would hire them. They can only teach 1 class. With all the will and accommodations in the world, they could only teach 1 class still.
They can still only really do 1 persons worth of work. They jointly control 1 body. Even if they did an office job, they could still only write 1 report at a time. Im sure there are some jobs that they could do 2 peoples.
I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled, sad to say, but it's true. It would nice if they did get 2 salaries but in reality its unlikely unless they find a job that could do it.
But that's wrong. They're doing two people's work. They're both working.
That's two people. Two jobs. Two pays.
Unless one is having a nap during work hours. Or playing gameboy.
Does the other person, have free time? No.
They're both working.
I will never be able to work some jobs because I'm disabled
And that goes for them, however,
If you're suggesting, that due to your ableness, you should be allowed to be paid half as much as someone else.
I don't agree. That's exploitative.
What you're arguing for, that if someone who is disabled is only half as capable, they should only get half the pay, is horrifying in any reasonable society.
I looked it up and they do get two salaries sort of. They get an entire salary and it is split between them but they only work part-time. Whether they work exactly 20 hours or whatever is unknown. Whether or not this has changed over the last 13 years is also not known.
Due to my ableness, sadly, I will never get hired for some jobs. I don't think of it as an injustice its just the reality of my physical situation. There are plenty of jobs that I can basically do the same as anyone else but many that I could not and there are no reasonable accomodations to help. I would never pass an occupational health assessment to work in a hospital for instance, I would like to but I'd be useless in the job.
The last time this was posted it was mentioend that they had opted to only get 1 salary.
Ok, but the jobs you can do, I will demand fair pay when you do them.
And they can surely teach.
they had opted to only get 1 salary.
From what I read it's something they accepted but wanted to negotiate later.
Which is how a lot of exploitation works. Just because someone agrees to less doesn't mean it's fair. That's not an issue limited to disability either.
