(One of the cases deals with Morgan not paying interns for work, which is ironic giving his push for $15/ hour.)

An article in the Orlando Weekly shows that Morgan may still not be living up to what he demands of others:

Morgan and Morgan hired an outside firm to handle their calls and help with the $15 / hour campaign.

According to current job postings, employees at the Office Gurus location in Pinellas County earn roughly $12 an hour, while employees at the offshore offices in El Salvador make between $600-$750 a month, which is equal to roughly $7.50 an hour, or nearly $1 less than Florida’s current minimum wage of $8.46.

Morgan himself has had harsh words for businesses that rely on cheap labor. At a press conference last January announcing his goal of collecting enough signatures to get the measure on the 2020 ballot, Morgan passionately accused businesses that pay employees less than $15 as taking advantage of “slave labor.”

“There’s nothing more profitable than slave labor,” said Morgan. “Our belief is that the single greatest issue facing America and Florida today is a living wage. That people are working harder and harder and getting further and further behind. That the rich are getting richer and the middle class is sinking into the abyss.”

Many proponents see this as a moral question however: business SHOULD pay more. But the world is not quite as rich as we wish and business may not be able to pay more. A $15 wage including benefits is perhaps $37,000/yr–ask yourself if some of the workers you see bagging groceries could possibly produce that much value for the company in that job.
