Specifically say that you agree with it, but that many people you know are against it because they're concerned with unimportant things like where they money will come from
Suggest that they use the college and town as a model, raise the minimum wage and then study it to see how the town/college improves
I'm not that good of a liar and I don't really want to hide behind "asking for a friend."
or something like that
But you arent lying and you arent asking for a friend
You do agree that people should have a liveable wage
People should have the ability to earn a livable wage
to be honest, I don't even know what their idea of a liveable wage. It's been conveniently left out of all their posters
Nothing is deserved in life.
I don't know how much the staff here are paid
And you do know many people that are hung up on the question of where the money will come from
you are one of them in fact, but you wont say that
If you dont want to do this for whatever reason asking for clarification is probably the next best thing
If I want to talk to them, I want to learn how much the staff are getting paid and what the students think the "living wage" is. I'm going to guess that cost of living here in bumfuck, Ohio is pretty low compared to a major city
Suggest that they raise their wages to the same level as canada, 110 per hour
110?
do you mean 11
nope
110 dollars per hour, that doesn't sound like a recipe for inflation or anything
one hundred and ten candian dollars per hour was the wage for teachers at the university of toronto last time they went on strike for higher wages
I think they're talking about the staff
like janitors and stuff
Doesnt matter if they're talking about teachers or not
The point is that canada is seen as a better version of america, but many people dont know much about how it actually functions
yeah I think it does. A janitor shouldn't be earning 110 dollars per hour
okay
there is a lot of bloat
Nobody minds a janitor earning $100/hr if that wage is merited.
Most of the time their knowledge stops at "universal healthcare, low gun crime, tredeau, legalized weed and sorry eh"
why would that be beneficial to me
the whole point of this is why I don't want to join the protest
The minimum wage should be abolished. It is the greatest barrier to the underprivileged to gain entry to the workforce.
Your goal is nothing more than to see if they actually have a goal at all
Nah i like minimum wage
Janitors in schools and hospitals have great benefits and pension plans, that is paid by the tax payers mine you (while the private sector has to also pay for their own) so no, I don think they should earn that much.
I had actually considered telling them that whatever they're doing isn't enough. Like, if they think the wage should be 15, it really should be 30
By putting forth a number which most people would regard as very high you force them to correct you, or risk scaring off the general population
just to see how far I could push them into lunacy
Not everyone has an IQ above 90. Yet these people are denied entry to the workforce due to minimum wage restrictions thus placing undue pressure on social welfare programs.
This is sort of an extension of the 15-30 effort, but its increased to allow for maximum shock value
