Comment on Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines)
Why should it remain that way?
Because the surplus from this change is going to the owner and not the workers.
It’s in NYC, I would not assume the owner is financially stable. Small businesses struggle because of two main costs, rent and labor
Since we’re discussing the default, I’d assume average NYC everything. If a restaurant can’t afford to pay minimum wage for the area, then I wouldn’t assume their business is a good use of space.
