Document Summary
Should workers be entitled to minimum wage: business supports unpaid internships. *marx spoke of how worker competition would drive wages down to subsitence. Has it began sinking below subsistence: should government regulate internships, should government get involved in business, milton friedman leave business alone. Why not allow businesses to decide how much they want to pay their employees: employer rights (or at least wants) leave me alone, when it comes to business. Put up all risk, money for business. Why should gov come in and tell them what to pay their employees. Job market: if you are not willing to compete, job goes to somebody else, milton friedman against min. But should anyways, because its good business: 1) right to your employee information. Without this, insecurity: 2) right to fair pay. Even if not a right, makes for a better working environment, reduces employee resentment: 3) right not to be fired for invalid reason.
