There is a big union associated with this business. Wasn’t Herman Cain associated somehow?
Anyone who thinks that a $15 min wage will work in the restaurant industry is a damn fool. It will destroy restaurants. People can’t afford to eat at restaurants now, just wait until they have to hike their food prices by 30% and see what happens. They won’t be able to sell all their rotting food that no one will pay for and will quickly go under.
Minimum wage is a tax. It is government forcing people to pay for something. I think it is unconstitutional.
$50 minimum wage because chef Mario Batali is MEAN!
This is the piece of human garage that had to repay $5 million back to employees because he skimmed their tips.
The hubris of this POS.

This is the guy that REFUSED to cater a Republican venue...and was also SUED for MILLIONS OF DOLLARS that he skimmed off of his Wait Staff’s TIPS? (And probably didn’t REPORT to the IRS?)
Yeah. I’m going to side with him.
*SNORT*
$15 minimum wage is the fastest way to the absolute minimum wage of $0.00.
The prices EVERYWHERE of businesses supported by minimum wage workers will go up. EVERYWHERE. Every market, retail outlet, gas, Home Depot, clothing store. EVERYTHING. Then tell me what your $15 wage gets you, except maybe cut hours or joblessness when your employer can't afford you anymore.
Gosh Mario how did you with your liberal pea brain deduce this?
