Next headline: “100’s of laid off fast food workers sign up for unemployment benifits.”
So True...
I’m sure most of them will be surprised there unemployment will be based on whatever the min wage was before today.
Plus the cost of living just rose approx 3 dollars an hour, not to mention the impact on those already making 10 dollars an hour.
Don’t even have to wait to find out what that will do.
Obama’s edict raised the minimum wage for government contractors to 10.10 per hour. A busy McDonald’s on government leased property just closed at Menriv in Goose Creek SC. Was also accessible to the general public. Story I heard was that other area McD’s absorbed all of the employees but I doubt such a thing was possible as it was within walking distance for most dependent employees. No idea what this will do to other non government concessions on bases but I see many closing.
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.
100s fast food workers replaced by automated kiosks. Story at 11.
