    IDK, ask the companies who refuse to pay fair wages and the government who refuses to force them to do so?

      It’s not like the government is exactly paying fair wages themselves either. Ask any teacher, nurse, researcher or anyone else working in the public sector.

      As a scientist, I’d get a major wage increase if I’d switch to the private sector.

        I hear you and I’m sorry that you have to deal with that. I haven’t even gotten a 2% raise in years. Funny how the government has no issue giving themselves (i.e. the politicians) raises whenever they want.
