What's wrong with opening up the chances again. Promote training, give incentives to move forward and reward those companies that help move people through the socio-economic classes.
You do this and you have companies that actually practice it and maybe there won't be a need for minimum wage.... But I seriously doubt the CEO wants to only make in 1 month what a worker makes in a day, he'd rather keep the system the way it is where soon he'll be making more in an hour than that worker makes in a year. More in a day than the worker will in ten years and more in a month than that worker will see in a lifetime.
The wealth needs to be spread and people need to be truly rewarded for their labor.
Until the companies will reward the workers...... government will have to make sure it doesn't get worse..... and the workers will someday have to stand and say enough.
The CEO's may have the money but there are 100's of 1000's more workers than CEO's and money cannot buy 24/7 security forever.
But the way to avoid the showdown that will come eventually, is to promote training, promote better employee relations and to promote loyalty as a 2 way street.
If the company is loyal and pays well and the worker doesn't give a true honest day's work then get rid of the worker. But if the worker works his honest day and does the best of his ability then reward him nicely.
2 way street..... now it's a one way and perhaps the workers need to show their muscle.
