The minimum wage should grow with inflation according to an annual review. It’s an injustice that there must be this huge battle every time it needs to be increased every few years but only when people get fed up because they can’t afford to live.
The minimum wage should grow with inflation according to an annual review.
Pretty much how it’s handled in Australia, although they sometimes increase it above inflation. Importantly, it’s handled by an independent body and not something that is subject to votes in parliament.
So if industrialists could manage inflation while increasing productivity, they should keep all the gains?
We’d have a different system in an ideal world but I’m not commenting on that now.
I’m not sure you get the point I am making. You changed something, perhaps without noticing. The quote is about productivity, not inflation. Merely keeping pace with inflation when productivity is booming hardly seems enough.
If you think productivity should be factored in that’s fine, but I’m not talking about productivity like the post is. I purposely left it out. I’m merely saying that wages should keep up with inflation at the very least.

I don’t need no stinkin’ government getting involved in my business trying to… Get me more money. Same as when that Obama tried to save me money on healthcare. Don’t tread on me!

Yeah! I want to live a lifetime of suffering and pain so that no illegals get shelter and no children get food! Disgusting! Republican Jesus woulda shot those immigrants and fed those kids to the lions.
Don’t tell me about no Bible, I haven’t read a book since I was 7 and I ain’t about to start now. Fox News is the one source of truth!
Immigrants are the enemy! Billionaires are friends. Just like it says on the TV channel that the billionaire owns! It has to be true! I’m stupid btw.
