Endicott, Baldwin Park and Solomeo, 1914 to 2024. Three employers decide, a century and two countries apart, that the right wage is not the one the market will accept. A salesman turned general manager puts an American factory workforce on an hourly floor no law required and keeps them employed through a depression. A hamburger stand in Los Angeles County pays its counter staff more than any chain nearby and never advertises it. An Umbrian knitwear maker pays above the contract his industry bargains, puts a ninety-minute lunch in the middle of the day, and builds a theater. Each premium was real and each had an edge: who qualified, who was excluded, and what happened when money got tight. This is an account of where the extra went. Covers Thomas J. Watson, George F. Johnson, Harry Snyder, Brunello Cucinelli, International Business Machines, Endicott-Johnson, In-N-Out Burger, and Brunello Cucinelli.
