As of Friday, Alaskan businesses will no longer be allowed to pay disabled workers less than the minimum wage, which is currently $9.84 an hour.
“Workers who experience disabilities are valued members of Alaska’s workforce,” said the state’s Department of Labor and Workforce Development Acting Commissioner Greg Cashen, in a press release. “They deserve minimum wage protections as much as any other Alaskan worker.”

Way to hurt disabled people, good job everyone, you did it, disabled people will be out of work. [applauds]
What the fuck are you talking about ??? What is wrong with capitalists
Hi @vaporwavevocap , you‘re an asshole.
“Either disabled people should be paid a pittance or they should not be employed, because they do not deserve even minimum wage.”
Drop dead.
People shouldn’t be forced to work for a wage you have chosen for them, they can advocate for their own salary, the minimum wage is horrible for workers in general. @feetpicdealer @derelict-stranger
I’m actually opposed to the wage system but in your utopia bosses still crack down on union negotiating so I don’t think you thought this one through lmao
People shouldn’t be forced to work for a wage you have chosen for them,
“oh nooooooo i have been forced to be paid a living wage, help, now i will be able to pay my rent, someone please stop this communist oppression and pay me less money”
also “you have chosen for them”??? as if i, personally, am the
one setting the minimum wage? as if the minimum wage isn’t itself a
result of people collectively advocating for their own salary? and as if
the alternative isn’t people being forced to work for a wage their boss
has chosen for them?
lmao
