It's those I feel for.

If the advantage of 'moving up the ranks' is wiped out by a small increase in minimum wage, it's a tough realisation they have not really 'moved up the ranks' at all.
Slight pay rises for taking on extra responsibility or a heavier workload often turn out to be more imagined than real.

Keeping lowest paid workers on poverty pay to protect differentials belongs to the Victorian mill owners.
