Yeah. I am the only person that got laid off, and reduced hours for worldwide during and after covid.🙃 You got me there. Shame on me for wanting people to earn what they truly make.

    Improving minimumwage is a good thing. You wentoff in your bag about nothing.

    Without improving hours, you will get the same salary. Wage slave.

    ...so you work less for the same money? Thats a result.

    How can I explain this any simpler. Sorry you got a result you didnt want, workers working less while maintaining their purchasing power is a result.

    Stronger working conditions and contract protections are separate and important.
