Fair wages seems to mean "what's fair for me. Period." That's relativism, Bud.

One can be of the opinion that some things are not matters of absolute morality while still maintaining that some things are matters are without being at all inconsistant.

Fair wages may not even be a moral ideal at all. Fair is what gets accepted as fair in a truely free market place. The wages are unfair if they are manipulated down by force or fraud, but then it is the force of fraud that is the unjust.

Decent wages are an important practical good, and I would rather see the world be better in a practical sense then worse, but people aren't intrinsically entitled to have others pay them a certain amount of money.
