Why did you add the parenthetical statement that it helps working families? It doesn’t, unless they are the lucky ones who don’t lose their jobs to more experienced workers who are worth the extra pay.

It was included in my original post.

Yes it does..."working families" is code for union thugs.

SOME UNION CONTRACTS ARE TIED TO THE MINIMUM WAGE!!!

I think you can take it to the bank that the SEIU and other government unions were all over this bill lobbying for its passage.

You just have to read between the lines.
