    I agree that legislative parliaments shouldn’t determine minimum wages.

    Minimum wages are a safeguard against certain forms of wage theft, IMO, because the biggest stick around acts as your compulsory union.

    Voluntary unions should then collectively determine minimum wages in a separate body.

    I do not agree that there should be sector-specific minimum wage alone as every human being has worth and thus their time as well. This does not exclude sector-specific negotiations.
