  Aww are the widdle capitalists upset the workers are realising how much value is being stolen from them?

  Maybe corporations should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

  Pay what people feel they are worth, or go out of business.

  Isnt that what everyone here wants, the power of the free market to weed out inefficient businesses?

    This isn’t the free market when it’s mandated by law. The wages in a free market would be determined by supply and demand without government collusion

      We don’t live in a free market when business cartels can fix wages.

      This is labor competing back with the same methods that capital uses.

      Cry harder.

      It’s mandated by law because the corporations are too large to care to do it themselves and have to be told.

      They’re just worried about making more money this quarter than last quarter. Under that reality, a law becomes necessary. Corporations have clearly shown they won’t pay their workers a decent wage when they don’t have to.
