    Unions are why Australia has the highest minimum wage. if you’re ever unfortunate enough to be in a minimum wage job make a point of organising.

        was just going off wikipedia but you’re right. Switzerland doesn’t have a national minimum wage but the few cantons that do are the highest in the world.

        heh, Aus is top of every list I can find because they are all sorted by national minimum. I would argue that a national award is stronger than a local minimum but I also like seeing us on top, so biased.
