Around here someone working food service with little experience will get around USD 3000 a month or USD 19/hour. It is considered a shit wage and most people make significantly more.

    Is this a country with sectional bargaining? Or just incredible minimum wage laws (which is, frankly a form of sectional bargaining)?

    We have sectional bargaining and a high rate of union membership (although "yellow unions" are constantly chipping away at that). Most labour relations are regulated by contracts between unions and organised capital with very little actual legislation happening. The flip side is that you're fucked if your employer is not part of the bargaining system and you are not some kind of white collar specialist.
