$19 is fucking nothing. Minimum wage adjusted for inflation would have been around $26 an hour several years ago. That's just a liveable wage. Wage increases are supposed to be from the bottom up. Pretty much guaranteed if you aren't an exec who needs the amount they earn slashed you are underpaid.
