lmao and it's like 50 cents an hour here
Samuel Baker
I hope the EU doesn't have a free trade agreement with Indonesia

>The ideal minimum wage level? You guessed it, it's 0.00$
Jeremiah Howard
true
Luke Butler
>$15 hourly minimum wage
This kills the EU
William Brown
Not yet but it is being discussed
Matthew Edwards
Most of Germany and Scandinavia never had a minimum wage because unions used to be strong enough to cover everyone with collective bargaining agreements.
Logan Nguyen
cuck mentality
Eli Ross
Same here, I don't think we have one
Btw who's campaigning behind this retarded idea? I'm guessing the PES
Kevin Barnes
We went from 0 to 9€ minimum wage.
Guess how many jobs were lost? According to estimates of the German ministry of labor: 0
Oliver Torres
An EU minimum wage would be fucking retarded.
An EU regulation forcing the introduction of a national minimum wage would be resonable
Chase Evans
There won't be a strict minimum across the EU rather there will be a flexible baand that will be calculated by average local incomes
Benjamin Wood
This sounds more reasonable. I don't think Eastern Europe will support it though
Jaxson Rogers
>estimates of the (((Ministry of Labor)))
Carson Cooper
Because as points out, it didn't actually raise anyone's wage.
Gavin Harris
The real question will be on who decides/calculates this. Because getting to decide national minimum wage for another country is a extremly potent tool for making a developing economy less competitive.
Jackson Gutierrez
You didn't understand the post. The reason why the minimum wage was implemented in the first place is because a whole chunk of the German work force was working outside of collective bargaining agreements so they had to be covered by a mandatory minimum wage.
Leo Williams
Turns out that wages have been stagnating for so long and productivity rising so fast that increasing wages didn't put any noticeable dent into the profits of companies. Amazon raised their wages to $15 due to pressure from labor-affiliated groups and it had zero effect on their earnings. Funny how that works.
Brandon Williams
It's probably going to be a proposition offered by each member state which will then be reviewed and discussed until they find an agreement
It's a bit too much for me imo but hey it's from the PES so what did I expect
Henry Jackson
>making less than £15 per hour
It's your own fault for not being valuable.
Samuel Davis
why does a Polish cashier in Lidl in Poland make 3 times less than a Polish cashier in Lidl in Germany despite doing the very same job?
that's unfair and I'm all for the 15eur minimum wage across the EU
Dominic Peterson
Cost of living is way lower in Poland
Kevin Howard
>the European union should be free from market restrictions
Caleb Rivera
not as much to compensate the difference in wages
stuff in Poland is maybe 15% cheaper than in Germany overall (a lot of things have the same prices or they're even cheaper in Germany) while wages are 60% lower
