Who gets paid when on strike?
I'm wondering who receives payment during a strike. Do the employees still get their wages, or is it someone else, like maybe temporary replacement workers?
What is the lowest legal price that can be paid to most workers?
What is the minimum wage, or the lowest legal price that can be paid to most workers? Is it set by the government or is it determined by market forces? How does it vary from country to country, and what factors influence its determination? Does the minimum wage ensure a living wage for workers, or is it simply a floor below which employers cannot pay? And, finally, are there any potential drawbacks or criticisms of implementing a minimum wage policy?
