Generally bosses have more control over their workers wages then the housing market. It is unrealistic to expect your bosses to provide cheaper housing. It is much easier to expect your bosses to pay you a living wage. > And just how are we supposed vet and/or collect data on employee housing? First step is to ask them. Second step is to go to your local government agency that collects data on housing prices and rent values. And third step is to check the prices your self by inspecting rent ads that disclose the price. > I don't understand comments like this [...] If they're underpaying that's a good thing. Only from the perspective of the boss. Put your self in the shoe of a worker and then perhaps you can begin to understand what the parent means. Workers also have bargaining power through collective bargaining. The longer bosses pay us lower then what we deserve, the more we will collectivize. A workers union will eventually form and you have to pay us a living wage anyway. In the meantime you must deal with us quitting, calling in sick, striking, advising your potential workers against working for you, etc.
