$12/hour is inhumane?

• detaro 8y ago
  If its combined with inhumane conditions as a requirement to stay employed, yes.

    So what would you consider a "humane rate" to pay someone to work in inhumane conditions? $20/hr? $100/hr?

      Why don't they just pay a humane rate and have humane conditions? Bezos is the only one demanding inhumane conditions and it doesn't have to be that way at all, it's an entirely contrived problem he invented to be a tiny little bit richer.

        >it's an entirely contrived problem he invented to be a tiny little bit richer. That would be why. Amazon exists to make Jeff Bezos and the shareholders as rich as possible, full stop.

      You simply do not push them into those inhumane conditions in the first place.

      They could just hire more workers at $12/hr and I don't think there'd be a problem.

      How about we all agree that people shouldn't have to work in inhumane conditions?
  • krapp 8y ago
    Even with better conditions, if the rate of pay isn't enough for an employee to earn a living (food, shelter, amenities) even when employed full time, it's inhumane.
