Britain to make salary disclosure in job ads mandatory

Compensation for work comes in the forms of money, working environment, flexibility, etc.

A minimum wage is a ban on certain baskets of compensation for work.

It doesn't prevent 'exploitation', whatever that means. Companies fiercely competing for labour is what you want here.

That's literally how a minimum wage works legally: you can have the nicest work environment and biggest flexibility and awesome training (or not), but if the money part of the job is below some minimum, the job is banned.

Maybe try working one. Minimum wage jobs literally have among the worst working environments.

I would have to move countries to do that. There's no minimum wage where I live.
