Last i checked they had increased the minimum wage beyond what trained heavy equipment operators were making. That is absurd, no matter how you slice it.

No, it's not. For one, other people having things worse off does not mean that certain people should not be trying to better themselves. For two, if that were true, then the heavy equipment operators should be asking for raises, as they now have the leverage to go to a less demanding job for more pay.

How can someone earn less than the minimum while in work? Is the minimum not required to be paid? If that is the case, what is the minimum for?

Do you mean absurd that trained heavy equipment operators are making so little?
