  Entry-level crowd work is often reported to pay less than minimum wage. While
this may be appropriate or even necessary, due to various legal, economic, and
pragmatic factors, some Requesters and workers continue to question this status
quo. To promote further discussion on the issue, we survey Requesters and
workers whether they would support restricting tasks to require minimum wage
pay. As a form of design activism, we confronted workers with this dilemma
directly by posting a dummy Mechanical Turk task which told them that they
could not work on it because it paid less than their local minimum wage, and we
invited their feedback. Strikingly, for those workers expressing an opinion,
two-thirds of Indians favored the policy while two-thirds of Americans opposed
it. Though a majority of Requesters supported minimum wage pay, only 20\% would
enforce it. To further empower Requesters, and to ensure that effort or
ignorance are not barriers to change, we provide a simple public API to make it
easy to find a worker's local minimum wage by his/her IP address.
