This worker uprising made Perfikot realize, amidst her fury, that some things she can ignore, but cannot pretend not to see.
The workers' problem, to put it bluntly, is still an issue of oppression and exploitation; although Perfikot offered them better treatment, it was still based on the societal average wages.
No matter how kind Perfikot is to the workers, she cannot possibly offer them a salary multiple times the social average for ordinary workers.
That wouldn't be improving the workers' treatment, but purely foolish.
Even if workers receive better treatment, they are still subject to oppression and exploitation, though it's not as severe.
Just like the so-called kind-hearted landlord who collects one-tenth less rent being called a great benefactor, he is still essentially part of the landlord class without any fundamental change.
Perfikot is well aware of this, even more than those supposed leaders of the workers' movement.
