Even apprenticeships are required to pay minimum wage....1 Job I worked was a sweet heart( 70% of the normal) low scale job,as an apprentis I was earning 40%of scale, each week I went to the union hall and they cut me a check to bring my payment up to minimum.... also look at all thos hours they sit on a bus , its part of the job discription , with about 175 (-minus 15 who are on the 40 man roster) players in our minor leaques , it would cost the Twins 160,000 a month to increase every player 1,000 a month ... and if you think 2,200 a month would have players playing for the big bucks , mmm you maybe need to look around , 15 years ago I turned down jobs if they didnt pay 10,000 a month....
