Both employees and employers are effected by turnover. Every time employees leaves, other employees have to cover for them until replacements are found. When new employees are added shifts and work assignments often must change to accommodate the new workers.
For employers, it means time spent interviewing, training, and dealing with personnel problems that result from the change in work and personal dynamics. High turnover means less productivity and the lower the wages the higher the turnover.
I have yet to see a MW wage job that requires much training if any.
MW workers are not paid more because the job the do is worth the least in the business. And a new employee gets the schedule they get there is little accommodation made for a MW employee. If they don't like the hours they get then they can find another job. That's the way it always worked when i was new on a job.
Your point may hold true for higher paid positions but not for MW jobs a they are the least valuable
Here comes that stupid 'worth' argument again.
How much are the people that make an employer ALL OF THE MONEY, WORTH?
You can presume to put a price on people I don't.
I can however put a price on how much a task is worth
Pushing a button and scanning a bar code is a task that is not worth very much therefore people who perform that task do not earn very much
It really is that simple.
