[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well, they are welcome to not join the program or drop out if they don't like it. There are also a lot of advantages to being an au pair, especially with a nice family.[/quote] And that's the exact justification for not having minimum wage laws at all. People can just not take the job, some jobs are easy, etc., etc. And yet. [/quote] France, Germany, UK, and Australia all have better employment protections than US employees, yet their au pairs have worse employment protections and far less pay than au pairs in America. Our au pairs have it very good- the best terms for any au pair in the world. Yes, there can be improvements. But stop acting like this host mom is exploiting her au pairs by trying to find ideas about how to have her au pair work a couple hours over the 4 per day (really-- this is a very good situation) she planned. It's important to fight injustice, but fight real injustice.[/quote]
