LETTERS: PAY SHOULD BE HIGHER

To the editor:

All the unions in the United States are after higher wages for their members. They have powerful leaders to negotiate for them. But the little minimum-wage earner has no one to turn to.

Yes, the person who wrote the letter to the editor Sept. 21 was right on when he said raise the minimum wage $2 to $4 more. It will build a stronger America, because it raises the standard of living.

No one complains about executives making the big bucks and giveaways.

You see, for many the minimum wage is a stepping stone.

The restaurants don't pay minimum wage, because your tips make up the difference, which should be outlawed because tips are a gift and not a wage.
