but minimum wage needs to be raised to be a livable wage

And companies should be required to hire the majority of positions as full time, rather than having a bunch of part timers so they can avoid paying basic employee benefits.

Nobody can afford to live on part time wages, especially if the employer forces them into random swing shifts so the workers can't even have a second part time job to try and get a livable income.
