Canada’s Working Poor
From my child care blog, Liberation Learning:
Employers who pay their workers poverty-wages are essentially off-loading their expenses onto workers and their families. These businesses are asking the rest of us to hand over our resources for their profits. This a bad deal not only for workers, but for everyone (other than the employer on the receiving end of the equation). These employers are not only exploiting workers, but are also asking everyone else to subsidize them. These subsidies come in the form of struggling families and the social costs associated with poverty.
