Think about what you are saying for a moment.. Lets say Amazon can pay an employee $18/hr in Cali and still make a profit. I mean they are making a profit or they wouldn't do it.
Now come to FL and they pay $10-12 for the exact same job. They are just fucking the people in FL and taking all the extra profit for themselves.. Why do they do that? Because it's a right to work state and the employees just get fucked because they have no real rights.
Right to work simply equals employer has all rights and employee can get fucked. Amazon doesn't give a fuck what your cost of living is. They only pay what they "have" to in order to be competitive in that market place. The reason they pay more in that area isn't because of housing costs alone, it's because there is upward pressure to have to pay more because competitors have to pay more. Much of this is because workers have rights in Cali..
The reason wages are so fucking low in states like FL & Texas is because workers have no ability to drive pay up. There is plenty of industry in both FL & Texas to drive wages higher but workers have no rights so wages stay low. They can either take the job or fuck off because there is no upward pressure on wage increases due to the workers having no power.
