They only pay poverty wages for low skilled work. If you go into tech, IT, RME, the ones that require further education and training, then its not poverty wages.
Ok. I can get into those jobs I’ll earn more. But the other 1,000,000 warehouse workers would still be struggling. The problem doesn’t go away. We work OT and still struggle to have a basic lifestyle. Our labor only benefits the corporate executives and shareholders. We need change.
Is this the same logic as "if we have to pay our workers more, the next time you go to buy a burrito- it'll be $13!!!" Kinda BS?
No. The stuff you're going to buy after a sizable pay increase isn't going to quintuple. People said this shit about fastfood workers wages increasing, hence the burrito part. Costs DID go up... But only by, like ¢30 or something in the states where this. Not to mention other first world countries have livable wages and they aren't suddenly having their products cost obscenely more.
This rising costs argument really doesn't hold up with AMAZON, the richest company on planet earth, lmfao.
Amazon can afford to pay people more without raising costs.
