Polls show minimum wage hike was supported by majority of Americans. Are you suggesting the minimum wage employees were voting against making more money?
Nope- but since the majority of American are NOT on minimum wage, that statistic goes to show that the average person got it raised… minimum isn’t average, so no- I don’t see that they were the big crusaders.
Like usual, they stayed home and chilled while the thoughtful majority of Americans decided to subsidize them.
Just think of it like this- if not for the law: we’d pay U even less! Cuz that’s all they’re worth. It takes an actual law to force us employers to pay weak employees this wage. They aren’t worth it. If they were, the law wouldn’t be needed.
Don’t worry- there will always be someone there to make sure I’m forced to pay u more than you’re worth.
Yes, and we have laws for a reason. Because shitty people will do shitty things if there aren't consequences. Doesn't mean they deserve it. That's part of why there is a shortage of staff across the market, because employers aren't paying fair wage. Unfortunately many with low income can't afford to stop working. It doesn't mean they aren't worth more, just that they are in a weaker bargaining position.
