Did you ever think maybe they agreed to the contract because they didn’t think that Goodwill would give them any more money even if they wanted it?
What if what if what if…
Did you ever think maybe they took the job because it suited their needs & they didn’t want to have to fuck with a 9-5?
Did you ever think maybe the jobs are low paying because they really aren’t that important & serve more purpose as structure than income?
Your argument is that the job is bad because the terms are bad, but no one is twisting anyone’s arm to take the jobs.
The jobs get taken because there are people that want that type of flexibility.
Yes they want more money, we all want more money, but you don’t get to shit on their employment opportunities because they have different priorities than you do.
No, my argument is that no one should be paid less than minimum wage for any reason.
…but they ARE GETTING PAID THE SAME WAGE
You work 2 hours @ $15, you get $30
You build two widgets @ $15, you get $30
The only difference here is for the first job you’ve agreed to a payment of $15/hour regardless of how many widgets you make & for the second job you’ve agreed to a payment of $15/widget regardless of how long it takes.
Job A: you can dick around for 6 hours & still make $90
Job B: if you can make 6 widgets in 15 minutes, you’ve just made $90 & you get to keep your extra 5.75 hours.
This isn’t complicated. Nobody’s forcing these people to hit a quota, they work at their own pace & are paid accordingly.
I’m guessing you just want to fight over something right now, so you’re intentionally being obtuse. This really is a simple concept that comes down to the workers preference.
