A pair of progressive Democrats unveiled a bill on Tuesday that would raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour, considered the bare minimum a single adult needs to meet the cost of living in much of the US.
The Living Wage For All Act is the first bill to be introduced by the newly sworn-in Rep. Analilia Mejía (D-NJ), who won a special election earlier this month after helping to lead the fight for a $15 minimum wage in her home state of New Jersey.
And yet some workers still fiercely defend it and will insist these rules stay in place. They’ve been brainwashed by the system to think they will somehow make less if subminimum is eliminated.
This is absolutely disgusting. Fuck that company. Selling donations at market rate and exploiting workers all while claiming nonprofit status. Like a true capitalist. If the company is non profit and they’re triple dipping on the merchandise and labor, where’s the money going?
Seems a lot goes to executive pay and “grants” to other Goodwill organizations I wonder how much of that grant money is used for salaries in those organizations.
