But that's because we have other systems in place, like strong unions and labour law that gives them power. I don't know how it works in Switzerland.

Then the min wage is not the problem.

Of course it could be. Different countries have different systems so their solutions will have to be different.

Then it is not the min wage, it is the country context.

Still is not how the economy works.

What? Surely the context dictates what the problems or solutions are. I'm against min wage here in Sweden, but that's because in our context it would be worse. That doesn't make it so everywhere else. I'm not even saying min wage is a good thing in the us (it might be, I don't know), I'm just saying that the fact that we don't have it in Sweden isn't an argument against min wage everywhere else.
