FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The workers gathered outside a shopping center in south Los Angeles on Tuesday, saying they could not afford to live on California’s minimum wage of 8 dollars an hour.
This is while labor activists say taxes are dodged and wages are driven down by the major corporations in the United States in a bid to maximize profits, as a new report by the National Employment Law Project shows that the vast majority of American low-wage workers are employed by large and profitable companies.
The report added that the top low-wage employers in the US return billions of dollars to their shareholders annually.
“Without us, they (major companies) wouldn’t have any money, so we are their money, we are their costumers, and we buy things. Without us they wouldn’t be them,” said one protester.
However, business organizations have expressed their opposition to increasing the minimum wage, saying that the move could reduce the number of available jobs.
This comes as activists have called for a raise in the minimum wage to at least 10 dollars an hour to secure a real recovery of the US economy.
In June, Latino labor leaders in Los Angeles complained that workers at major retailers like Wal-Mart had to work in hazardous conditions for very low wages.
