Of course the landlord also benefits, as does the letting agent, the electrician, the plumber, the handyman...

Think you need to wake up to economic reality.

Or do you think your boss/employer is a blood sucking vampire as well? If they don't make a profit how long do you think your job will last?
Depends, if that roof is on a house, that is warm & secure, not filled with damp, doesn't make you ill then yes, I'd agree.

I work for an employer that whilst they expect long hours and hard work, pay very very good wages with fantastic employee benefits. They also firmly believe in training and retaining their staff.

Compare that perhaps to a 0hrs contract where you have to come in early before your shift and not get paid for it

One is fair, one is exploitation.

Just because the former is rarer, it doesn't make the latter any more justifiable.
