That guy at the airport who will wheel your grandmother to her terminal is getting paid $5.25/hr plus tips. At least, that’s the case at the Philadelphia airport. I don’t know how much more, if any, the baggage handlers get at curbside. After taxes, that gives John Stewart about $600 a month, $400 of which he pays in rent for a basement apartment.
It’s past time that the underclass get organized and demand some changes.
