What in heavens name do you think the discussion is‽
Improving minimumwage is a good thing. You wentoff in your bag about nothing.
Without improving hours, you will get the same salary. Wage slave.
...so you work less for the same money? Thats a result.
How can I explain this any simpler. Sorry you got a result you didnt want, workers working less while maintaining their purchasing power is a result.
Stronger working conditions and contract protections are separate and important.
