Order hazardous chemicals only in quantities that are likely to be used in a reasonable time. Buying large quantities at a lower unit cost is no bargain if someone (perhaps you) has to pay to dispose of surplus quantities. Substitute alcohol-filled thermometers for mercury-... 

Recall that the rate of exploitation is the ratio (h - v)/v, where h is the number of hours worked per day and v the value of the consumption goods needed to reproduce the labour-power of the worker for one day. The tatter is in turn determined by the real wage and the labour content of the commodities that constitute it. Hence the rate of exploitation is a function of three independent variables. Of these, the labour value of commodities is not the object of economic bargaining or political struggle, as are the other two determinants of the rate of surplus-value. 

In the following section, we present a supply chain bargaining model which further characterizes how the system surplus (the gain of trade tt ) is divided, and how the players bargaining power influence the surplus division.
