But it’s legal to rip-off a million or two
That comes from the labour that other folk do;
To plunder the many on behalf of the few
Is a thing that is perfectly legal.
- Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger (1977) *(Bosses are always keen to “reduce the cost of labour.” )

A $2.33/hr tipped minimum wage is pretty ridiculous.
"In addition to raising Wisconsin’s minimum hourly wage, the report also argues in favor of eliminating Wisconsin’s separate minimum wage for tipped workers. In Wisconsin, businesses have to pay tipped workers at least $2.33 an hour. However, if an employee doesn’t make at least $7.25 an hour from wages and tips combined, the employer is required to make up the difference."

#GeoGroup, which oversees more than a dozen ICE detention facilities, has faced #lawsuits in 3 states alleging it violates #MinimumWage #laws by paying some #immigrant detainees $1 a day to work.
