Is my friend getting unfair wages?

Question

Well me and my friend work at the same place (country club) and he is a banquette server. We both worked there for 6 years now. Since that time my friend started out at $8 an hour. Now 6 years later he is making $8.75 an hour. People that are band new are getting hired for 9-11 dollars an hour. So he feels like he is getting unfairly waged. He has asked for a raise a number of time and said he feel unappreciated for all the work he has done and does since new servers are getting payed $1-2 more then him. 

So my question is what should he do? I do not want him to do something that will ruin his reputation on his next job so that is why I am asking.

If they refuse to give him a raise at least equal to what a new hire is getting, he should probalby take the hint and quit.

Kini · Answer

He should speak to his boss and ask why his salary is lower than the new hires. That's the only way to find out the reason and make a decision based on that.

MoneyMen · Answer

He can either ask for a raise or go find a job that pays him more.

If he can't find a job for more money than he's not worth more money.

Unfair maybe, but that's not illegal.  He needs to look for another job.
