Coincidence?

Where did the framers insert in the Constitution the part about the government negotiating salaries between employers and the employed?

 

I missed that part...

 

Article I, Section 9 provides that the legislative branch may regulate commerce between the states. The "commerce clause" is extraordinarily broad and minimum wage laws could easliy fall within its purview.

 

Moreover, pursuant to the Supremacy Clause of Article 4, paragraph 2, every state is bound by such federal law. (That is to say, the states can give more than the federal law allows, but not less).

Or you could just read about it here: Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority, 469 U.S. 528 (1985).

If you are 18 years or older and are only making the federal minumum wage, you have to either be a very very crappy worker or else have specifically chosen a job for reasons other than pay.

 

Here are the steps that are required for a worker to make more than minimum wage:

1) show up to work on time and sober
