If this was rolled back first nonskilled minimum wage workers vould be given a choice of taking a vage cut or having to compete with someone willing to take less pay or the same job. In the South with i virtual absence of labor unions which protect the workers inerest) there would be severe rompetition and fluctuations ronnected with unskilled and iemiskilled jobs. This would result n above the board roll back in pay or all levels of workers. It would ?wvmv IU 1UC (1 SM11CU vorker or at least retire them and rain an unskilled worker at bare ubsistence rates of pay. This has happened before and vill continue to happen with lutomation of equipment making it :heaper to fire highly skilled vorkers, pay them a pension and lire unskilled workers to perform he same task on simpler equipnent. ? If you knew much at all about lewspapers you would study the ate of the skilled typesetter and heir phasing out to be replaced by jasically high school graduates over qualified though.) My particular skill in medical ab is almost obsolete now. Given a oil back of minimum wage, I'm ;ure there is a tenth grader willing ind eager to step in my boots and un the two machines that I run. I latter myself by saying that his esults would not be as good as nine but my results are as good as ;omeone with more training than nyself and I get paid less than hem. You might roll back minimum vage but why not go all the way md roll back child labor laws, ;afety standards and all environmental legislation because hey all absorb some of the com>anies capital.
