Remember this is an entry level warehouse job. Easy to say they need to be paid $20, very difficult to pay it.

I made $3.18/hr my first real job. Netted perhaps $105-110 a week (I think it was $107 actually, but grey matter is dying ). Going to an inflation calc online I see that's equivalent to about $7.15.

I blame rich people like you guys 'Rich' is relative.

The difference is they are paying it, jut to the temp agency. Why not do away with the temp agency and pay the employee from the get go. I still can't figure out the need for more middle men (Worked for temp agencies before. They make a hefty sum)

Temps are more disposable. The paper cup of the human race. Plus, there are no benefit costs.

My question is; Is someone really a "temp" when the employer has deliberately strung them out for 2-3 YEARS without hiring them?
