Ok, which states have their min wage tied to inflation ?

You're backtracking now.
You said countries tied their min wage to inflation.
Now you talk about unions and collective bargaining ?

That's your valid reason???

Come on, if you have one, say it. If you don't, stop arguing and admit you are wrong.

The Netherlands, France, Singapore, and the European Union has their minimum wage tied to inflation in some fashion that varies from country to country.

There are a number of countries that tie their minimum wage to collective bargaining like Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, to name a few.

Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington all have their minimum wage tied to inflation increases.

If you base it on 1938. Minimum wage was at its peak in 1968. But nice try with that weak attempt .

I took one country..the Netherlands.
They do not tie their min wage to inflation.
They tie minimum wage to AGE.

I'm not going through the rest of your list but I suspect no one ties their wages to inflation.

Minimum wage in the Netherlands rises once again | Dutch News
The minimum wage in the Netherlands rises on January 1 and July 1 each year. It depends on one's age, and gets progressively higher from age 15 to 22, then remains the same for everyone aged 23 or older.

Only basing it on when it started, that super random date the I cherry picked to make an argument, if it was tied to inflation (like you want) that is what people would making now.

Nevada and Oregon both do.....and oregon has the second highest minimum wage in the country.

Somehow we haven't burned, fallen over, and slid into the sea....

AGE is close enough. And I really don't care if you go through the rest of my list. You asked and I gave you one.
