Well, cry me a river for the casino, which could afford to pay a living / more competitive wage, but I see your point about the other ones.
Maybe then it says more about our current economic system as a whole.
But my point was it seems like if $600 / week is enough for folks to choose not to work, that says more about the work not being meaningful or the employer being unable to (or choosing not to) pay the worker well.
- abfan1127 6y agowhile I can't speak for other casinos. This particular one paid them full wages for the 6 weeks they were originally shut down. it wasn't $600/wk. It was $600/wk plus UI. If $600/wk is enough not to work, then it can also speak to the quality of the worker and their lack of skills. Spending time complaining about how hard life is, rather than doing something about it. Not everyone is like that, and not no-one is like that either.
