>or assign better salaries to better workers.

Not if some workers are being paid more than their productivity/value is worth.

>You protect the right to make a decent living.

>the company can always fire a worker

These statements are contradictory.

Firing anyone not worth minimum wage makes the true minimum wage $0 = unemployment.

Which essentially prohibits anyone who's value is less than minimum wage from making any living at all, much less make a decent living.
