Will their unemployment benefits be based on what they were being paid, or on the new minimum wage?

“I REALLY hate saying “I told you so” in this instance.”

Don’t feel bad; who do you think voted for the people that raise the minimum wage? I doubt it is the gibsmedat who has never had a W-2 issued to anyone in their family tree...

Just as blacks are suffering under Dem rule, the unskilled workers are paying a price as well.

Unemployment benefits are based on your earnings for the previous 4 quarters.

The Libs baffle me. The real money for a waiter or waitress is not paid by the establishment. What real good does raising the wages by a buck who only work 20-30 hours per week?

The person hit hardest is the employer. And so it goes...

California defeats progress at every turn.

I was being sarcastic.

However they’re computed, unemployment benefits are less than they’d make if they still had a job.

No problem. California will just pass a law stating that businesses like this cannot close.

Those who have been there awhile and proven their value are probably well above minimum wage anyway. It's new help or those of little value who are the problem.

Sounds like the new minimum goes into effect after they plan to close, so seems like the benefits would be based on what they were being paid.

I’m betting that most of the employees voted for Obama and were giddy to hear about the raise in MW!!! Yaaaaay! They all screamed! Time now to cuss out the owners for not digging into their own gold lined pockets! I’ll bet they have a boat and a car and a house and everything! Sell it! Pay me!

Wait till the robo chefs get installed in all the fat food joints.

The screams will be deafening. I have no pity for people that cut their own throats. As for the decent people, move before that rathole literally takes everything you hold dear. Yes its hard. I am confident you all can find a way. Millions before you did.

I’m just betting some liberal whackjob will try to introduce a bill banning business from closing.

Chicago did….a few years ago…..Jesse Jackson and Gov Blago forced a window company to stay open and forced a bank to keep financing them…...

The oppressed are finally free to earn that piece of eternal pie in the sky, the maximum minimum wage! Now to find an establishment that we can bankrupt until the next big prize so we can eat!

Leftists believe that all businesses exploit their employees. They don’t care if they force them to close. In their ‘minds’ only the state can run a business properly.
