Once again it is not up to the company to keep up with the cost of living in any given area. It is up to the individual person to make themselves marketable for higher wages. You wish to use cleaners as an example so lets take a look at them. What are the job qualifications to be a cleaner? I'll give this a shot, do correct me if I am wrong.
1. Able bodied
2. Pass 10-year background check.
3. Pass pre-employment drug screen.
4. Maybe a High School Diploma or GED.
This job is for high school kids and college students. It is not a career job. To think that a company should pay more than market value is absurd. This job falls in the class of McDonalds and Burger King. I would not expect anyone to be able to buy a house or even raise a family for that matter on the income of a cleaner. I wouldn’t expect one to make it a life long career either. The fact that NWA even went along with paying the cleaners what they did does indeed point towards inept management. I am glad NWA came to their senses.
Education and marketable skills is what drives ones pay. If one does not have the foresight to prepare themselves for todays job markets they should not expect to get premium pay.
For some reason unions ignore this basic law of economics and marketability and then cry foul when it blows up in their faces.
