Employment Standards determined a small woodworking shop owner was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him. "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent. "Well, there's Jake my finisher who's been with me for 3 years, I pay him $900 a week. The apprentice Tom has been here for 6 months, and I pay him $500 a week. Then there's the half-wit that works here about 18 hours a day. He makes $10 a week and I buy him a case of beer every Friday," replied the owner. "That's the guy I want to talk to; the half-wit," says the agent." The owner says, "That would be me." -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |
