I live in a VHCOL area and the factory that I work at is still looking to hire people at $17/hr… That’s taco bell wages. Hell at this point that’s less than taco bell wages around here…
I was in a teacher conference and some parents were flipping out that she wasn’t providing after school support to their dipshit child. She pointed out she makes 41k.
That’s $20.50 an hour. She could work at Costco for $30 an hour.

I wish! It’s really hard to get into Costco because people like working there so much they don’t leave! Lol I tried and they generally only take a few people in from their seasonal hires, working in the bakery I guess I was too “hidden” and didn’t get chosen to stay lol
To be fair the factory in town in paying me 24.24 an hour and it still isn’t enough to deal with the damage it is doing to my body. I am already looking for another job. And this shit union, but goddamn at 45 can’t do it. Also it reported that it will be 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit this summer is inside. Also working 12 hour switch shifts suck too.
Unfortunately my union is fucking weak. They just had a new contract negotiated. In it they caved to the company only wanting to give a 2.36% raise and oh they voted that new hires like me get zero raise. Also the health benefits suck. Really not great union.
I feel like this is one of the major issues we face when it comes to pay. The people setting the prices are stuck living in 2000 thinking they’re offering a good wage, then “The Market” does it’s thing and every asshat looks at every other asshats offerings and sets their wages similarly…
The answer is pay…

Yep, our techs make like $28 to start, but when in n out workers make $23, is it even worth it?
That is what the soda bottling plant paid back in '96.

The temperature thing seems like it should be fixable and the union should call for it.
