They don't force any company to pay minimum wage. They say that minimum wage is the least amount of money a company can pay someone. All companies are free to pay as much above that amount as they want.

True but if you were a greedy corporate fiend that needs to pay for his Sailboat and you were told you only had to pay your workers some pitifully wage guess what..............

The point I am making is that if company's are forced to pay real wages then they will find  profit in other areas other than the wage pool.

Getting wealthy off workers is the goal in business. But as a former owner of a very large Manufacturing firm I can tell you that I made the choice to pay my worker about 30% higher than the same workers down the street.

I found profit in other ways. But mostly my guys worked much harder because they got payed a lot more than the shop down the street.

So I could still made a good profit, make a fine product and had very happy, very well payed employees.

Don't you find it odd that while some company's are paying Union wages for making "Product A"  and still make a good profit. While a company that does not pay Union wages can make the same " Product A" and make huge sick profits?

If all company's were required to pay a higher minimum wage and the Unions were killed. We would all be closer to a even keel

In the eyes of Fucknuckle anyway
