Main points for my Position Essay:
Forcing companies to raise wages is bad
(From the viewpoint of a minimum wage worker)
• It causes the wage/price spiral. Prices inevitably rise to compensate more money going towards wages
• Employees will get cut in an effort to save money
• It's even harder to get a job if you don't have a lot of experience or a full education (Especially teenagers)
• It takes away the ability of the company to independently raise wages according to how the employees work. Which:
• Further destroys the employees motivation to work hard and do a good job.
Examples?
• This happened at Boeing. (I think? Somewheres in Seattle) People got more money but they lost privileges and nobody gave tips. (Research more)
Why is it important, how can I appeal to reader's values?
• It's important to know who these changes are really going to effect, and in what way. While it looks beneficial, it negatively effects the people at the bottom.
Other side of the argument:
Does it do anything good?
(need to research more)
