I like the UKs Minimum wage system and its twin the LIVING wage scheme. Min wage is as it says on the packet, LIVING wage is a voluntary scheme adopted by many companies who agree to pay a higher rate if the company is thriving.
I think people got pi55ed with companies like Amazon making billions but paying almost NO tax in the UK whilst paying the absolute lowest wages in the UK. or Hermes the courier company paying its drivers something obscene like 35P per parcel (50 cents) even if they had to go back to the adress three times to make the delivery and the drivers had to provide their own vehicles and fuel and insurance.
So I think a FAIR Minimum wage is a good thing, even the most unskilled of workers needs to earn enough to feed his family, as others point out flipping burgers, collecting shopping trolleys , picking litter, cleaning hotel rooms is the limit of what many good folks are capable of.
