Amen! Seriously. Let's start talking $21 dollars for minimum wage. This is truly ridiculous. America and capitalism need to grow the F up! Reality check! Now let's cash it.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Every. Single. One.
ReplyDeleteI know I lack intel about how things actually works within these companies in the U.S., but do their employees not have unions who are - supposedly - big enough to impose the voice of their adherents in order to get at least a minimum decent wage? Or are these unions just a facade making bed with the companies owners?
ReplyDeleteI've always felt sorry when reading foreign press about how ridiculous we French were to go so easily on strike. Except that my sorrow was not about the image reflected in the Anglo-Saxon papers, but mostly about how sad and desperate it must feel to live in a once promising and rich country that takes so little care about its citizens.
uptonking - Yes, $21 an hour is much more realistic to afford to live.
ReplyDeleteBatRedneck - I have to admit that I don't know that much either about companies and their unions. So many places don't have a union, and if they do, some are, like you said, in bed with the company. It's a sorry state of affairs here.
