[QUOTE="Well-Known Member, post: 4854618, member: 85066"] I'm not whining about someone thinking they are entitled. I'm stating a fact. I'm also not the one that took a job knowing what the pay rate was and then bitching about the pay rate but unwilling to stand up and fight for a higher pay rate. That is you, not me. We don't. In most states, the starting rate is almost double the minimum wage. Even in the few super progressive bankrupt states, the starting wage is still higher than minimum wage. I'm not complaining about my wage rate, you are. I stood up and fought for what I got, you didn't. Maybe you can learn something here. Band all your part time workers together, stand up and fight, and you may get a pretty big raise. But don't expect me to fight for you when you won't fight for yourself. Solidarity is me standing with you, but it is also you standing with me. There is no solidarity on your part if you will not stand up and fight, if you will not stand next to me. So don't bitch to me about solidarity. Stand beside me, and I will fight for you. Hide behind a computer screen and bitch and moan, and you are on your own. [/QUOTE]
