  1. In a degrading manner.
    • 1999, Sue Richardson, Reshaping the labour market, page 28:
      It is an offence to the dignity of workers to pay them degradingly low wages. What constitutes a degradingly low wage will, of course, be affected by the standards of the time; it is a relative as much as an absolute idea.
