Pay an adequate hourly rate

I found, to my surprise, that casual workers are paid as low as $3 an hour, for example, at fast food outlets.

If they work for 8 hours a day, they earn only $500 a month. This is too low to make a living. The cost of living is quite high.

I suggest that the minimum wage should be at least $6 an hour. A person working 8 hours a day should earn about $1,000 a month all-in.

Maybe $6 is still inadequate, but it is better than $3.
