Why is it the employer's responsibility to provide a living wage?
May 10, 2014 at 12:57 am (This post was last modified: May 10, 2014 at 12:58 am by Heywood.)
I'm not interested in discussing if minimum wage is good or bad. This is a much more narrow question. In my youth I used to believe that employers had a moral obligation to pay their employees a living wage. As I have aged...I have abandoned that belief because I could find no compelling reason why it should be so.

So what are the compelling reasons an employer should be obligated to provide all the means of living(the cash equivalent of such in our society) for an employee?
