What makes you think people in other industries aren't in a very similar position? Suppliers of all types are always pressured by the demands of their customers to earn less and deliver more. Publishers are not an exception.
I don't personally suffer the risk of adjusted salary myself, but my company certainly is. And to be the team player that I'm forced to be by the laws that bind me and my company, although I don't risk my salary level within that company I completely sacrifice all notion of job security.
So I know I have to struggle to be the guy my company always wants to keep so that I can continue to pay off my mortgage and buy the ebooks that I like to read. This can involve me delivering more for less. Being paid the same amount of money for more hours, for more pressure. That's life.
My reply would be why the hell shouldn't I make these demands when I know that I myself am subject to the same demands - even if indirectly.
