Is my friend getting unfair wages?

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.

    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.

    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.
