I wouldn't work for a CHARITY expecting much in the way of compensation. It's like going to church, and complaining about the entertainment.

People need to eat and pay rent if they work a job. You can't expect people to give their whole lives to a charity, that's honestly too much to ask. If the labour is supposed to be a charitable donation, you're not going to be able to get people to accept that (thus these strikes). There aren't enough altruistic with their time, independently wealthy people out there for that to work at the scale of the whole charity industry and all the man hours needed to make them work, nor would it be desirable. Some people will volunteer hours at a food bank for example, but you still need some core actual workers there to ensure the whole operation continues, people who are there regularly. It's like that in any operation.

I just figured charities use a lot of volunteers. It seems like the only people who make money in this field are C level types, who make millions per year. I didn't mean people don't deserve a living wage, but charity work is its own reward.

You would think a homeless charity of all places wouldn't be stupid enough to not offer a living wage

Somehow, the CEOs make off with millions in salary, while the well-meaning folks doing the actual work eat shit. It's amazing what percentage of donations ends up in the banks accounts of C level executives.
