Higher prices in exchange for basic labour rights. Seems like a price worth paying to me.

  That's easy for someone making 6 figures to say, but what about someone making close to minimum wage?

    It's hard to believe this comment is for real? Labour rights - including the right to a living wage and civil working conditions - benefit those on the minimum wage more than high-earners. It's not a zero-sum game.

      What about the people that now can’t get jobs at the higher minimum wage? (Or the more restrictive union-based hiring). They go from $X to $0 which seems quite a downside. So it’s disingenuous to argue that it’s strictly a benefit to all workers (obviously it does benefit many).

        Labour rights extend to a robust social safety net. Robust and enforced labour rights are strictly a benefit to all workers. Only exploitative employers benefit from their absence.
