According to the article below, most positions, like retail sales associates, pay less than 9 dollars per hour on average, or in some cases barely above $9 per hour. You heard it right folks, less than 9 dollars per hour on average. That may be acceptable for an in home job where you don't have to have the expense of working out of the home.
But these wages are unacceptable for those having to work in the home. Even in the Great Depression times, retail sales associates were paid a more dignified wage in comparison! Come on big companies?
Boycott where you can.

4 of these companies stock are owned by the Fresno County Employees Retirement Association. Since you draw a pension from FCERA, you are a direct profiteer from these low paying companies. This is hypocrisy of the highest level.
ReplyDeleteAll I can do is protest to the retirement association that they divest these stocks. I will do this immediately.
ReplyDeletePlease name the companies and I will do it. I am not sure which ones are held by FCERA.
