How can a worker be exploited? This is a free country. They took the job didn't they?My young children make twice what you make for half the hours in part time jobs while going to school. Maybe you need to look for a different job.A fixed salary of $20K per year for a 60 hour week is an obscenity.
You're the asshole who thinks it's a fair deal. The CEO of White Castle says his employees love working there and don't mind putting in the longer hours for no pay. Of course no one asked his employees how they felt about it.
That's always the answer you assholes have for workers who are being exploited. "Maybe you need to look for a different job." Somebody has to do these low skill jobs, many of which involve long hours and a lot of hard work. Why shouldn't they be paid a decent wage for doing them? Why should all of the profit these companies are making go to the CEO's and the shareholders.
Wages are at an all-time low, profits are at an all-time high. You seem to think those two statements aren't connected.
And for the record A$$hat, I haven't worked a minimum wage job since I was 18.
