minus-squareerrer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down3·5 months agoWhy do these drivers get paid a 50% higher wage than minimum wage? EMT drivers don’t even get this much
minus-squareAtariDump@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·5 months agoYou’re right, and I’m angry too. EMT drivers should be paid more (as well as the Uber/Lyft drivers)!
minus-squarechunkystyles@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·5 months agoEVERYONE deserves a liveable wage, including the people you mentioned.
minus-squareerrer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down2·5 months agoThat’s what the minimum wage is for.
minus-squaresunzu@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoSounds like somebody feels entitled to another mans labour at certain prices lol
minus-squareerrer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·5 months agoSounds like someone thinks a particular class of worker should make more than their peers for arbitrary reasons.
minus-squaresunzu@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoI think min wage should be set where a person can live without transfer payments from the state and food banks
minus-squareerrer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·5 months agoCool, then Uber drivers should make minimum wage and the push should be to increase minimum wage.
minus-squareWalrusDragonOnABike [they/them]@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoBecause part of the time they aren’t being paid at all for their work and a good chunk of that money goes into the vehicle and fuel itself. After accounting for all the unpaid labor hours and expenses, it probably still comes out sub-minimum-wage.
