A government-appointed commission announced that Germany would raise its minimum wage twice over the next two years. The move would give Germans the second-highest minimum wage in the EU, after Luxembourg.

    I’ve never encountered someone arguing against minimum wage increase IRL. It’s probably because they fear the very high chance they’ll get slapped.

      A coworker if mine is actually arguing against minimum wage because his wife, who studied engineering is barley above minimum wage and increasing minimum wage would invalidate her extra effort for her diploma… You find a lot of mind acrobatics around arguments against minimum wage…
