The B.C. Government will increase the minimum wage, Premier Christy Clark announced Wednesday. The minimum wage will rise in increments, she said, reaching $10.25 per hour by May 2012.
The current minimum wage is $8 an hour, the lowest in Canada. It will increase on May 1, 2011 to $8.75 and be $10.25 per hour by May 2012.
The province will also eliminate the training wage.
"Raising the minimum wage and eliminating the training wage is a fair and reasonable step forward in putting families first and building our economy. This increase could mean more than $4,000 additional dollars annually for a full-time employee, providing more support to B.C. workers and the families who depend on them," Clark said

General Minimum Wage
- Today $8/hr
- May 1/11 $8.75
- Nov 1/11 $9.50
- May 1/12 $10.25

I don't see why it goes so high all of a sudden....economy is not that good...
Even 8.75 to $9.5 or even $10 is good ENOUGH.

$10.25 per hour is not really helpful.

And why should the idiot Jim Sinclair cares?
all the union members are way over-paid,
wanna know how much he makes a year?
croc's tears

No problem, more restaurants will close due to this.

BC government have done everything they can to kill restaurants.
- HST
- Change of the alcohol laws
- No smoking on patio
- Increase the wage of all servers ~30%

Try to get a higher pay job,
it is hard to survive with minimum pay in B.C.

作者: cllo 時間: 2011-3-17 16:25

$10 was a higher pay job.
now it will be very hard for lower ppl to get higher pay job.

作者: somewhereintime 時間: 2011-3-17 17:23

"$10 was a higher pay job."
Ask how much an average unionize worker get?
$16-25 is normal: Janitors, porters, meat cutters,
bakers, mail-sorters, librarians, sailors, street workers
are the on the lower side.
Most jobs, i.e. Starbxxk Barista at UBC area $16.75 per hour
plus free coffee.
So it is how you justify higher pay job.
