$26.50, man! Not a penny less! C’mon! Where’s your humanity????
Why not $26.50 an hour, greed-heads?! LOL
Why just “the largest hotels”?
Maybe they should jack up the tax rate on corporations as well?
I still blame his father for the OJ fiasco.
I couldn’t live in L.A. on $13.25. Make it $32 or I skidoo, cheapskate!
Jackass. Why not $40 and mandatory unionization? LA is an illegal cesspool already, wait till businesses leave and take their taxes, employees and money with them. Fools never learn the lesson of economics 101.
That should drive many LA businesses out of CA or out of business.
Which ever comes first.
More anti-business nonsense from California.
The ONLY effect this will have will be to drive business away in droves.
Liberals can do this because there’s no effective opposition. There’s no one in the Republican Party talking about the evils of liberalism. Everyone should listen to Rush’s opening monologue today about the state of the Republican Party.
Odds are 50 to 1 that he uses illegal aliens to do his yard work and they are paid below the legal minimum.
cheapskate. why not $50 an hour?
all he’s doing is replacing their shopping cart with a nicer shopping cart. still just a shopping cart.
the mayor’pointed to the fact 46% of LA workers make less than $15 an hour.....
and after raising it to $13.25 an hour, 46% of LA workers will STILL earn less than $15 an hour...!
god bless the fact checking media. i think they couldn’t find irony in the dictionary.
Well, Im jealous because El Lay is going to be the first to get fast food automation in place if they do this. No more worrying if some delinquent is gonna spit on your sandwich or worse.
All the unskilled will simply be replaced by machines and people with the qualifications to run/ fix them.
Someone like me will electrical/mechanical qualifications will be able to get a job at Buger King as a technician maintaining the equipment but Jose and Maria will be out on the street
Theyre decimalists man...the decimal is just a tool used by the man to tell people that they are only worth a fraction! You cant expect the common man to understand the power of the decimal! They promised $1325/hr and now they should have to pay up for trying to mislead those poor people!
Why stop there? Make it $50 or $100 and then sit back and see what happens.
And there you have it in black and white. The MW increase has NEVER been about helping the working poor. Most union contracts are tied to the MW; so a $7+ raise in the minimum wage is a raise for the union worker - And THAT is the objective: capture and compel the union vote.
Never mind that inflation will eat up most of the wage increase - North Dakota anyone??!!
Damn Democrats!
I wouldn’t think that it would be Constitutional for the maggots in the government to tell employers how much they have to pay their employees. If someone doesn’t like how much they are being paid, they need to go find a new job. It’s not rocket science.
The kiosk manufacturers are lobbying hard for a higher minimum wage.
Repeal the minimum wage and anyone who wants a job will have one.
Of course, the unions would never allow it.
