The minimum wage has no effect on profits what so ever. It is the same as in my trade being a builder. I wouldnt care if a carpenters minimum wage was $20-00 or $40-00 an hour, my opposition has to price accordingly. Whatever it was i would still pay extra to keep the best people, which is one little lesson that RBD might like to pick up on. When you pay people the minimum thats what you can expect back. I would expect if RBD payed double the wages to half the people the service would be improved out of sight, with half the labour force. macdunk
