A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Just index it to GDP/ inflation or executive pay/ compensation.

Executive pay would be nice. Make it so the CEO gets paid a maximum of 20x the lowest paid worker. CEO pay goes up? So does company minimum wage. Make it account for stock grants too.

My biggest fear with this proposal is that lower wage positions just get offloaded or somehow classified as "independent contractors" or consulting or some other bullshit. Or they create some shell company to all these positions. Or some other chicanery.

Don't get me wrong, I agree in principle. But God damn if actually enacting and enforcing wouldn't be some legal whack a mole with these slippery bastards
