15 a hour while working 40 hours is 30,000. That should be the absolute minimum across this country. Other areas like Frisco and NYC should be around 25 a hour which mean 50,000 a year. The business class wants the lowest wages possible. They truly don't care if supply of workers is high enough that you can get away with simply paying 10 a hour. That's why unions are so important. Workers should make enough to live decently. That means health care and housing and cars and 25 days of vacation a year. And no, unions are not socialism.
