should we getr rid of the min wage?

I belive you have it in the usa and for 10 years or so we have it in the uk.

but should it be droped?

many firms have said they would employ people but simply cannot afford the min wage.

it does not seem to have made people better off. if anything worse of as the price of food went up, so people found everything more expencive.

surly people should have the right to work for whatewver they wish. I may go work for firm 'A' for $1 an hour becase they are giving me training that I know will mean in a few months a large wage increase.

Also if I go to firm 'A' and they pay me $1 an hour, firm 'B' may pay $10 an hour and becase I know have experience they take me on.

Surly it should be left to the market force what people are payed?

in the uk people refuse to work now as they find the min wage degrading?????
