- xapata 4y agoThat's better than a real wage decline, which is what had been happening for decades.
- xyzzyz 4y agoAh, so when the retails workers strike to get 20% raise, we should just tell them “you guys are making peanuts anyways, what difference does extra 20% makes to you? You’ll still be making peanuts”. This will convince them that the 20% raise is immaterial, and won’t make any real difference for them, which will save a lot of money on wages.
- lukebitts 4y agoNo, when they ask for 20% raise you tell then that's peanuts and increase it to 100%
- rco8786 4y agoAre you trying to spin a 20% wage increase as bad, somehow?
