That's odd that you think because currency is given to a person that means they aren't slaves. Even if that currency is so low that person couldn't afford even some basic necessities while the owners reap massive rewards.
I was able to afford more than basic necessities... just not a livable wage at an entry level job like flipping burgers.
I don't understand the point. They still need workers for that organization to continue to run and be successful, and those workers deserve livable wages for that.
A person that bags groceries shouldn't expect or demand a living wage. They're bagging groceries.
Yea an apprenticeship isn't a job but training to be able to perform a particular job when finished. OF course when you get a job you get a decent, livable wage. Fast food workers also deserve this.
BS an apprenticeship isn't a job. It most certainly is a job. I started as a first year apprentice... within 5 years I was a job foreman. That led me into the career I have on the management side. Are you getting a clear picture?
Hey, a fast food worker can always ask if management training is available.
I started at minimum wage and worked my way up. You want to just pay them career wages when they walk in the door. lol. that isn't happening.
None of this is relevant, I'm not discussing high school kids, who aren't in need of livable wages as they're still cared for by their parents. Also a teenager working at fast food is treated differently than an older person is. Older workers are generally better workers, as they can deal with customers better and have better experience in dealing with problem solving issues, as I said earlier. That's just one of the reasons they're valuable and deserving of a livable wage.
Just because they're older doesn't entitle them s***!
You aren't deserving of a thing until you prove yourself capable.
How do you still believe this? lol. There is so much evidence to the contrary that working harder hardly leads to better opportunities, particularly in the third world.
You got it! Work hard and work your way up the ladder from the bottom with regards to these low level jobs.
How do I believe it? Because I lived it. Before I joined the Marines I experienced it even in the food service industry in my teens. I worked hard, got raises, took my experience to another restaurant for more money.
Hey the 3rd world is the 3rd world for a reason. You want to give a front line fast food person a career wage without proving themselves. Where is the incentive to better yourself and grow?
This isn't even true, the company has laws to follow one of which is paying at least the minimum wage. So no they can't just pay anything they want, thank god.
Well ok... I should have said pay anything they want within the law. The minimum wage law is the law and it is not a livable wage. A company has every right to start someone at minimum wage if they choose to.
I don't understand why you think they need to prove themselves to be deserving of a minimum wage to be able to LIVE on.
They do. Minimum wage jobs are not meant to be a career.
They wouldn't be hired in the first place if their credentials weren't valuable to the job.
Yeah... like making a burger... but that is not a $50K a year job son.
Once hired though it should be agreed that a person must have a livable wage and not be forced slave away at another job in order to feed their child. This is awful for society and we see the impacts it has, worsening health, increased numbers of depressed people etc..
Oh please. Forced slave... give me a break.
May I ask how old you are? Are you in your 20s?
