This is bound to get people jumpy, but anyone also wondering how unfair having to live on a minimum wage is, there's something else to consider before setting forth to rant about the lack of a fair pay:
A "fair" wage is first and foremost one that the employee has decided is "fair," and the employer finds to be acceptable. Far from a one-sided agreement as the employee has as much power to decide whether or not to take the job as the employer to turn down anyone he fits unsuitable to do work for him.
Any employee who is complaining, or striking, because they are not receiving a "fair wage," should first be prompted to answer the following questions.
If, by your terms, you are not receiving a "fair wage," why are you still working here? Why haven't you gone out and obtained a better paying job elsewhere?
