Does the ordinance include expected tips? $12/hour after tips isn’t all that much in a high-end restaurant.

If it doesn’t factor in tips, no restaurant can make a go of it.

This living wage requirement is coming to your city and state. The rats will pass a federal law increasing the minimum wage to $9.10 with an inflation index. They will also had other costly mandates especially a health care payroll tax.

If $11.95 is a “living wage”, why not $111.95? How about a “Livin’ Large Wage”? Everyone in Oakland would be rich, right?

What Marxists pretend they don’t understand is that prices increase as labor increases, as labor is a huge cost.

The never-ending dollar tree is what Liberals, via debt, want to pull from, and as evidenced by Detroit (UAW) the excesses of sloth and non-innovation cost us dearly.

Funny, wonder why the influx of cheap Mexican labor isn’t mentioned? I guess only when they work at Piatti, Pelosi’s restaurant chain.

"Living wage crimps Oakland restaurant plan"

Easy fix here. The city of Oakland can subsidize the restaurant by waiving all city and property taxes. Proving once again, that the Government lunacy trumps market forces.
