I grew up upper-middle class. The book "Working Poor" really opened up my mind to what life is like for low income workers.
When I first heard about the $15/hour minimum wage movement, I initially rejected it. I studied Economics in college and I'm concerned what the effects would be to job growth. I'm still undecided.
What I think is a more pressing issue is "on call scheduling". Technology should improve the quality of living for humanity. Instead, software is wrecking havoc on the home lives of the lowest paid employees.
I'm thinking about starting an activist group. Do you think people would get behind it if I executed properly?
