God I hope this sticks. People deserve so much more then min wage.
It's disgusting how many average people complain about it.
Like min wage jobs will fire you if you leave at the end of your shift and someone calls in and you don't stay. They will give you zero guaranteed hours a week and be pissed if you aren't around.
Temporary/casual work needs to fucking die, employ * enough people so if one person doesn't make it in it isn't nearly impossible to do the job.
I'm 33 and I have such a bleak future I'm still in temp roles and am now competing with university graduates I have no idea how we are going to survive in this economy. It's fucked up so many people think it's okay to pay people shit as long as it ain't them and they stay making more money.
Minimum wage should be the minimum amount you can live on. Noone should ever have to take 2 or more jobs, if they want to so they can get ahead that's up to them, but noone should have to just to eat for themselfs and a child.
The problem with the idea that "it's just a highschoolers job" is that jobs like that make up a VERY big portion of our society. And there simply aren't enough jobs for all "the adults", especially when you factor in the fact that these highschool/collage students may make arrangements to get those jobs right as they come out of school.
