That's like blaming the Jews for "letting" Hitler boss them around like that. They should have just stood firm and said, "We're not gonna let you treat us that way, dude."  |
I think that analogy is completely out of all proportions.
Anyway, I think he was clearly saying that they should be given minimum wage. It doesn't need a "revolution" among the workers, it needs recognition of an inequality from the government and some responsible legislation. Obviously prices at all resturants would have to go up, but if it's introduced across the entire country simultaneously then the sector won't be harmed. I also fail to see why farm employees are not paid minimum wage?
