I personally prefer the Swedish system of wages set by union negotiations instead of having a state minimum wage. There should obviously be special wages for particularly strenuous work, that leaves people exhausted and for certain professions that have special characteristics, and that's not for the government to decide, rather it must be set by collective agreements between large groups of workers and employers. Politics and laws are too slow, and this provides an intermediate flexibility level in-between politics and direct negotiation. It's at odds with some EU law though, which is a huge problem. It's designed to work in a closed system, so when people can bring in strikebreakers from abroad there's a major problem which will eventually have be solved at the EU level, or we'll eventually be unable to remain (since this is more core to our politics than our EU membership).
