You can state that categorically? All full and part time employees and contractors deserve a ‘livable wage’ regardless of their role or the value they add to the company?
- mattieuga 9y agoYes.
- rwz 9y agoWhat if their contract is to load paper into printer once every other week? Do they still deserve to be paid salary that'd allow them to rent property in one of the most expensive places in the country? That seems a bit idealistic, don't you think? A business needs to make profits.
- djrogers 9y agoWait, so all I gotta do is work 10 hours a week and I should be able to feed my family and afford a house? That’s an amazing world you live in.

- ceejayoz 9y agoEvery discussion I've seen of livable wage starts from the concept of being able to meet reasonable necessities - food, shelter, transport, healthcare, etc. - from full-time employment. I suspect you know full well that folks talking about a "livable wage" aren't saying "if you work an hour a week you should make $40k".
