PeteMorris Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Pretty much. At the moment at least. It will change in time, expectedly when the BRICs reach our socio-economic station. Which won't be long at this rate. Sorry Loob...you did it again!....Don't ya just hate acronyms!...Ummm...Whats a BRIC?...I just know it's going to be something blindingly obvious!

truman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Surely if a company decides to take on some labour. They do the sums first? At the moment thay do the sums to the tune of "what's the least I can get away with paying legally?" Exactly...if the company can't afford the extra pay it won't set on extra workers..?

PeteMorris Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Exactly...if the company can't afford the extra pay it won't set on extra workers..? In a way, that's my point too. If they can't afford a living wage, then they will probably get dross that doesn't actually want the job anyway, been forced into it, and be unreliable and will leave as soon as another job comes along which pays better. So it's self defeating paying a minimum wage surely? EDIT: I've been in that boat myself, when times were hard. I've taken a min wage job just to make ends meet or try to, and at that time I had to do 2 jobs. But as soon as something better came along I was soon off!

gnvqsos Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 If the minimum wage becomes a living wage it could damage the ability to compete internationlly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
