A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

"up to $23 an hour".... Doing a whole lotta heavy lifting in this headline.

How is it sane to list the maximum you can make, vs what to expect day 1?!

It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.

Aldi announced that it it looking to hire thousands of new workers, as well as increasing their minimum wage to $18 and $23 an hour.

My read on this, is that they are discussing the minimum for two separate positions. Potentially cashier and team leader. Would make sense as they don't have many employees on shift at a time.

Ah that could be. Either way, $23 isn't the max

Should have kept reading:

The national average starting wages for Aldi workers will be set at $18 an hour and $23 an hour for warehouse workers.
