Hi Alonso, seems to me ALBO is clarifying not backtracking.
Its clear that he was referring to the minimum wage.
For others its dependent on a number of factors including the agreements they operate under.
Some may be aligned to increases in the minimum wage and therefore would benefit if the minimum age was increased.
Of course workers in higher paid industry would have greater negotiating capability if the minimum wage was increased. They would argue for a similar percentage increase to keep up with inflation.
