slavery??? man you lunatics will try anything to justify this complete bs forced 30% increase that is 15X more than inflation! see ignorant one, employers already DO try to pay more when they can, based on the market, competition, costs and profits, they understand turn over is expensive and people need to manage to support buying products in society, BUT educated people also understand MIN wage was NEVER about supporting society to support business, it is and was an introductory level wage to start your career, no live on for every, thus workers have a responsibility to work and gain promotions, get more of an education etc,,
