Bill Mitchell — Musicians should be paid at least a socially inclusive minimum living wage

Summary:
It’s Wednesday and I am now ensconced in Kyoto, Japan for the months ahead. I will report on various aspects of that experience as time passes. Today, I reflect on a debate that is going on in Australia about the situation facing live musicians. Should promoters be able to employ them for poverty wages including ‘nothing’ while still profiting or should they be forced to pay the musicians a living wage. You can guess where I sit in the debate.…We can change that to, "Everyone should be paid a living wage."  Then we could have a debate over the various ways to accomplish this.Bill goes on to say this.My position is clear – any worker should be paid a living wage at a minimum.Bill Mitchell – billy blogMusicians should be paid at least a socially inclusive minimum living wageBill Mitchell |
