    I work with everyone from low paid temp employees to well paid and skilled machinists, so I have some indirect exposure. I also have a handful of active projects to automate processes and reduce direct labor. I can tell you first hand it isn't as easy as it sounds. 

    Not sure what your "in reality" is referring to when it comes to the minimum wage. Not sure your reality reflects actual reality.

      When I was young and in college and broke a buddy of mine put on suits and ties and went down to the Manpower office. Ironically we did not get selected.

      Minuteman is pretty similar.

        So anybody that eats at McDonald's regularly here's a little heads up. First of all no doubt it's the 15 bucks an hour they want which most of them are probably getting anyway. And thanks to you Biden folders that 15 bucks will be about 7:50 thanks to inflation but that aside...

        As far as the sexual harassment problem, which this is the first time I've heard about it, when was the last time you saw a McDonald's employee you really wanted to bone?

          None of those are "minimum wage jobs" though.

            One of my friends brothers was kicked out of the Navy on a Bad Conduct Discharge for having been caught with cocaine.  He couldn't get a job anywhere, finally got a manpower job where they paid daily I guess.  Guy was a total fuck up.  Anyway, first pay he got two of the other manpower workers who happened to be black, beat him up and stole his cash.

              So which of the temp jobs at your factory pay minimum wage? 750 an hour? I can't think of any fast food entry level job that starts at less than 13 or 15.

              PS I think Warehouse associate or laborer would be at the bottom the wage scale

                      Fair market value determines minimum wage.

                      How many people will line up for a job that pays $0? None.

                      How many will line up for a job that pays $7.00. Very few.

                      $14.00 ? a lot more.

                      You pay a wage that the market dictates.

                      It is no business of the government to tell two parties that agree on a salary what the wage "should really be".

                      That's like telling them you don't need to  go to school, you don't need to improve yourself...we will force the employer to pay a salary similar to a person who did do those things.

                      Like what a mechanical engineer earns.

                        Just for the record I realize we took the dirt road down the minimum wage hoax but supposedly this is to draw attention to sexual harassment in the stores.

                                Which begs this question... When fast food restaurants no longer need human employees where else can people who haven't got their shit together well enough to work anywhere else find jobs?

                                Hey maybe if they all get free college degrees they can find a gig in hotel housekeeping?
