So, put in a provision allowing companies with workers represented by unions to have leeway to negotiate a wage below that mandated by the law. In the interest of equity, also put in put in a provision allowing companies with workers not represented by unions to have leeway to negotiate a wage below that mandated by the law.
Pretty easy to figure this out.
The unions understand the difference between making money on volume and making it on margin.
They want to make their money (aka dues) on volume, so trying to create a scenario where employers stampede their workers into unions to avoid the higher minimum wage.
Simple: use the Government to force non-Union companies out of business by artificially raising their operating costs.
$15hr min wage = wealth redistribution = socialism = slavery = theft
Unions think this is a way to get more companies to encourage unionization, but it would also encourage union members to decertify their unions so they could make the $15 minimum wage.
Oh, and to add, the union workers really get screwed by this.
Not only do they get paid a sub-minimum wage, a big portion of those sub-minimum wages get auto-debited directly into union coffers.
Rules are only for the little people.
Found out they were loosing members due to businesses cutting back in order to pay the remaining employees that $15/hr.
Imagine a country where the law is different for you than for your neighbor.
leftism is total insanity
It makes sense. It could help force all the sub minimum value labor into the union where the union can further reduce their take-home with dies.
LMBO! This is brilliant, perfect, simply astounding, and incredible news.
Celebrating for the Unions that have been “hoist on their own petard.”
