[quote user="BigDaddy"]You would be assuming a lot if you think a minimum wage increase only affects those making a minimum wage. A state raises the minimum wage from $7.25 to 10.25. The guy just hired, pushing a broom is now making the same a guy who has been there a couple years doing a more skilled job. He now wants $3 more an hour.[/quote] I can't judge the American situation but as far as I know it hasn't happened in Germany. Why should the other guy get more when his productivity hasn't increased? The minimum wage is a political wage uncoupled from any productivity considerations. Normal wages are coupled to productivity. Looks like our unions accepted the difference. Regards, Volker
