How do you feel about the minimum wage? Do you think workers who flip burgers or stock shelves have the bargaining power to reach a fair wage? In such a negotiation who will blink first, the individual, replaceable worker or the multi billion dollar corporation?



It's not always about flipping burgers or waiting tables and even those "basic" jobs needs training. Some employers don't want to deal with untrained staff, so increasing the minimum wage or making internship illegal is going to do more harm than good and the people you want to protect will have a harder time getting trained on the job
