Do you have a source regarding the day laborers who wait for hours seeking work for minimum wage? Because an article your sibling posted, which is critical of Amazon, says warehouse workers get $11 per hour (about 50% more than minimum wage). Outside of major cities, that seems like an OK wage for a fairly straightforward job. If it's not, why don't you raise the minimum wage?
- jbooth 13y agoYou're right, it seems they pay $11. I had gotten that info about the day-contracting centers from other places that they staff, at some point. And I personally agree with raising the minimum wage, although not any higher than $11, probably, so that's immaterial. That's still hard to make a living on at 40 hours and no benefits, though. And it is unfair to competitors who pay a more livable wage without forcing their employees to get on medicaid.
