Imagine when they find out it’s actually shit and they need to hire the people back and they ask for a good salary. They’ll turn around again asking their gouvernements for subsidies or temporary foreign workers saying no one wants to work anymore.
I’d love if there were some sort of salary baseline that companies are required to abide before asking for staffing handouts. “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”
Lol. I’m all for raising the minimum wage to something livable. But also at the same time, there’s got to be some kind of mechanism that forces these companies to pay people properly. Either that or make unions mandatory.
The minimum wage really only applies to the lowest-requirement, manual-labor jobs. Ideally, the baseline he’s suggesting would adjust for certain expertise fields, perhaps just around the subject of when they can request immigration visas or outsourcing assistance.
So for instance you need a software engineer, you shouldn’t be able to offer a 70k salary, get no one (because software engineers value their time), and then claim there are no software engineers - you would have to be offering 110k+ before any assistance.
It’s called a prevailing wage request and one is required before an overseas worker can be considered for a position in the US. Yes this isn’t for handouts but for outsourcing work but that does exist in a sense.
A lot of the layoffs are due to AI.

Like some sort of minimum amount they have to offer in terms of wages?
