Even if they wanted to keep the service separate for simplicity, Facebook could mandate its contracts pay a prevailing wage. That sort of contract provision is common. >Try Walmart. I bet walmart spends more of their revenue on salary than FB.

Walmart bumped their minimum hourly wage to $10 last year, and they're going to $11 this month. I wouldn't be at all surprised if those numbers are higher than what the cleaning staff at FB get.

    That's interesting. I think that means McDonalds in California start at $12/hr. http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/01/news/companies/mcdonalds-pay-raise/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/01/news/companies/mcdonalds-pay...

      Anecdotally all the fast food restaurants I've seen hiring in the bay area are advertising $14-15/hr starting wages.

> I bet walmart spends more of their revenue on salary than FB. What a dumb metric. Of course they do, because they have 100,000s of low paid workers. How the hell is that relevant to a discussion about prevailing wages? Facebook pays extremely well, but now we are going to start a wage discussion with what Facebook's suppliers pay?
