they aren't.
it's just a fact that companies are hiring people for higher salaries and minimum wage is lagging behind

So you're saying if the minimum wage was zero wages would be increasing anyways?

obviously, do you think if minimum wage was zero people would just work for free?
comapanies are going to pay as little as they can for the service, they have no reason to pay more just to be exactly 2x minimum wage.

Ok so what are other labor rights do you want to rip apart?

They should INCREASE minimum wage because it is lagging behind
