I heard an excerpt on the radio and I believe he said "Anyone working full time should be making more a living wage". I paraphrased that but the part about "full time" has me confused. Is he suggesting a two tiered system, one pay rate for full time employees and a lower one for part timers?
he is pointing out that the minimum wage has not kept up with productivity for decades - minimum wage should be a living wage
