StumbleLetter: Workers deserve $1 an hour raise
Wednesday, April 28, 2004 | 8:54 a.m.
It is appalling that business owners (and anyone else) would deny a minimum-wage worker a dollar-an-hour raise. This would amount to a paltry $40 a week for a full-time worker, which could mean the difference between having food in the house or going hungry.
While corporations claim that their executives deserve their multi-million-dollar bonuses, let's not forget who does the hard, often backbreaking, work that allows those companies to turn handsome profits.
