Comment on The push against wage rises has begun again – it’s an argument for Australia’s poorest workers to become poorer | Greg Jericho

The chamber of commerce and other employer groups never want minimum or award wages to rise by more than inflation. It is about time they were honest and admit they are arguing for the poorest workers in Australia to not just stay poor but become poorer.

Well that about sums it up the mentality of business groups.

Well they should’ve started a business if they didn’t want to be poor! /s

I recall more than one year where they asked for minimum wage increases that were less than inflation. They don’t just want wages to stagnate, they want wages to decrease.
