i recently learned that urban outfitters pays about $10 an hour to their employees. other retailers probably do this too, urban is just an example. the mit living wage where i live is $15. this does not seem fair.
i am not an employee, thankfully i do not need to work right now, but i feel bad about retail workers being paid so low.
what can people like me who aren't currently working do to help retail workers get paid more? would it help if stopped buying urban outfitters? how do we pressure fashion/retail companies to pay their store associates more?
