Is congress exploiting you?

Workers of eBelgium unite! Stop the exploitation!

It seems the eBe minimum wage is placed at the bottom. Indeed for the state you are all low lives that do not deserve more than 1BEF a day (minus taxes that is).

I have just started a proposal to make the min wage something more decent so lets see how your congress members think of you. But don't expect to much...

well, if that's the minimum wage, it would be a problem if all wages are at minimum lvl

which is not

min wage is now that low so that communes have an advantage in giving weapons or food to members instead of money. but the private market gives decent wages. really.

Not communes dear friend but foreigners who sell their products outside refusing to pay taxes. Communes my dear friend operated and filled by people who's hart lies at other parts and who's wallet is emptied elsewhere.

If eBe wants to develop a strong economy they have to free themselves from these parasites...

But how does raising the minimum wage to 100 BEF help when there are jobs on the market for a much higher wage with nobody taking them? I have had an offer up for 120 BEF for weeks (and I give bonuses). There are offers for 145 BEF, and 2-1/2 pages of offers at 100 BEF or higher. Yes, I agree that our young and experienced workers need and deserve help, but I don't see how waging the minimum wage is the solution.

if I could, I'd work for all of you! But I cannot 🙁. And I agree, as long as there are more jobs than workers, there is no point in setting a minimum wage. It would be purely cosmetic

But SX80 are you working for a eBe cs or abroad

If you're working for 1BEF a day and you want to make more, go to "My Places" and under the name of your employer, click "Resign". Then go to "Job Market" and take the best paying job available (155BEF at the moment). Problem solved.

A Vegan, you're a good guy and I like you, but when you start your disinformation campaigns which only have an effect on the young and the ignorant, I suddenly don't like you that much anymore (;

Fact is that this 1BEF min is abused to ship money and goods outside of our country without helping our country. eBe doesn't have communes (in the true sense of the word. So why keep the min wage to the absolute min? I am sure raising the min wage to 100 BEF will help the value of the BEF and boost our economy. Keeping it at 1BEF is just foolish and strange.
