Unions deny people the right to choose. They deny people the right to think for themselves. And they charge them for the privilege.

What part of more money and more time did you not understand?
no one is stopping anyone from paying more. The ones crying are those that want to pay LESS
You cannot think of any ways in which minimum wages might stop people earning more?
I'm sure you'll come up with something stupid
Travel expenses are a good example. Should a person be allowed to accept a job that pays just below minimum wages, if they have zero travel costs, when the alternative is a long, expensive commute for a minimum wage job?
Or what if the alternative is being on the dole because the unions have succeeded in denying them the right to work?
These are the sorts of real life problems that the unions don't care about when they get on their high horse and deny people the right to work.
Another is even simpler - should people be allowed to accept the job that they actually want to do, rather than only the jobs that some imbecile union thug thinks they should?

There most certainly should be a minimum wage. Thank heavens for the good unions of Australia.
Would you deny someone the right to choose for themself to work for slightly less at a job they preferred to do, or the only one they are able to get?
Freediver the shonky slave labour hire arsehole.
Why should bosses be in Unions & workers not?
Answer the question.
That's a pretty stupid question Gnads.

All you're doing is advocating for someone to be a scab & to take less to get their job.
This is a tired old mantra that the unions get their mindless cheerleaders to chant.
I am advocating that people be allowed to think for themselves, rather than have the unions do it for them. Because the unions ultimately serve themselves.

I would prefer the person where ever they work, was paid no less than the minimum wage.
Do you understand that if you deny people the right to work, they get paid nothing? You make them unemployed.
Now that you understand the consequences, would you like to have another go at answering? Would you deny someone the right to choose for themself to work for slightly less at a job they preferred to do, or the only one they are able to get?
What makes you think the what you would prefer ought to over-ride what they prefer? Do you consider them to be incapable of thinking for themselves? After all, you do not know and do not care about their specific circumstances, but they do. They might even get paid less because of your actions, once you consider all the other costs you impose on them by denying them the right to choose for themselves.
People have the right to work for whatever they want. If you want you can register as a small business and clean peoples houses for $2hr, the only thing you can't do is employ someone else to do the same. Anyone can work for a low income if they need to survive. For some its easier to lean on the government than putting in the effort to survive.
When you earn less than the dole what would be the point in that sort of stupidity?
Who said anything about working for less than the dole Gnads?

So you want people to have 2 maybe 3 jobs to survive ... like they have to do in the US?
Again, not what I am saying Gnads.

Well they do stop people from earning less.
Lower minimum wages put downward pressure on all wages.
No they don't. More idiotic union mantras for the gullible.
