In Reply to: $11 minimum ? posted by Spook on January 11, 2018 at 11:58:23:
The minimum wage was legislated here to $14per hour from 11 and change and will rise to 15 next year, all enforced by our provincial government to provide ' a living wage'.....not that a decent living can be made at that level anyhow. Our coffee stop, Tim Hortons, equal to your Starbucks, responded by cutting benefit sharing to their employees, cutting the number of paid days off and making staff pay for their uniforms...all legal ,but condemned by labour organizations. The government's reasoned that the extra pay would be returned to the economy and grow it as a result. Well, it will likely put inflationary pressure on it since now other workers are demanding an increase in their pay to maintain the spread between their wage and minimum. If Tim's passed on the wage increase instead of burdening their staff further, a meal there would go up by 7 cents, which most would pay with no issues. The one other positive thing about this is that it increases the spread between minimum and subsidized income ( or welfare) and may give some an incentive to work to raise their standard of living. Wishful thinking? I guess we will see how this works out over time. Buy the way, out 14 dollar minimum is about the same as your 11 dollar figure, but it is more expensive to live in the great white North than in the friendly states. Ben
