RE: Restaurants In Ontario To Add Surcharge To Your Bill

There is no universal fair compensation. If you are willing to accept x amount and employer is willing to pay x amount, that is fair. If you realize x is lower than your peer, you will ask for more, leave, or suck it up (this will affect performance). If you leave and many others leave because of what they deem unfair pair, pay will increase. If the employer realizes he is paying too much, he will fire people, cut their pay or find cheaper workers willing to accept more.

I believe government should protect our right to live and co-exist. Very basic means. Protect our right to fair compensation? Who determines fair compensation? Do we need to hire an employee to manage that determination of fair compensation? How much will I have to bribe the fair compensation worker for them to bring the number to a number I consider fair in my industry? I have seen my family pay bribes to politicians just to stay in business, not even for a benefit.

The more government, the more corruption, and the less free market you will have.

Nothing in life is free and it's this type of mindset that is destroying our society.
