Few things seem to stir the pot in B.C. as much as discussion about raising the minimum wage rate. Now, its much more than a discussion as B.C.s new premier has instituted a graduated raise in the minimum wage from $8.00 per hour to $10.25.
Ive read reviews of this long-awaited increase which variously describe it as too much, too soon and too little, too late. That shows just how polarized parts of the business community and the labour movement are on this topic.
