while this update isn't necessarily my area of expertise, i've been thinking about it and i feel it is my obligation to do you all a disservice by giving my opinion.
How about you re-phrase your part of the conversation to read thus:
"I want a raise! I'm making $7.50/hour, but even with two jobs, my wife and I can't afford to feed our family! The cost of living has increased 5% since 2000, but our pay schedule has not reflected that inflation!"
CVS is a publicly traded company, why don't you ask what the CEO's annual salary is? Then ask what bonuses were paid to executive management, how much stock holders were given as dividends, and how much money was saved in the past fiscal year by moving X production plants to [insert country with lack of national wage/industrial regulation here].
I have plenty of excellent historical texts on American labor and the economic/safety conditions which prompted the labor movements of the early 20th century. Feel free to browse when you come over tomorrow night :)
indeed you know your stuff toddler. however, i did get that raise...i was just using it as an example. although i would like to do that research in case i'm given that excuse :)
