What’s really fair vs. not fair in wage law
Let’s look at what’s unfair to who:
Not Fair: workers who are forced to work two and three jobs just to put food on the family table
Not Fair: families who cannot afford preventative dental care
Not Fair: workers who are forced to go to work sick because they cannot afford the time off with no pay, which also affects the health of their co-workers
Not Fair: working a full day and still having to go to a food bank because workers can’t afford groceries and rent
Not Fair: families who can’t afford prescription drugs to restore their health
