How about instead of an increased minimum wage, we abolish it and provide a minimum income for people. At that point employers lose the upper hand in forcing people to take low wages to survive and instead they have to compete with pay and benefits people think fit the job.
Of course there are issues with funding that (higher taxes on the rich would work best) and it would work better on a sliding scale so people that do work get more money, it doesn't just get taken out of their minimum
