Just hearing about the first effects of the Obama minimum wage increases for government contractors. A busy McDonald’s on government leased property just closed at Menriv in Goose Creek SC. Was also accessible to the general public. Under Obama’s edict they would have had to pay the employees 10.10 an hour so they had to close. Story I heard was that other area McD’s absorbed all of the employees but I doubt such a thing was possible. No idea what this will do to other non government concessions on bases but I see many closing.
Btt. Tried to call the Mcd but their number doesn’t work anymore. Employees were told a couple of weeks ago if Obama signed the increase, they would have to close. They did.
People who are on bases please let us know if any other non government concessions have closed. This could be one of the first but not the last.
