What utter hypocrites!

[MeshugeMikey]

it truly boggles the mind..truly truly!

[4rcane]

why do minimum wage workers join an union anyway. They get nothing from it

[rainee]

Typical libs.
They’re basically admitting the wage increase will kill jobs.
Idiots. Reap what you sow..

Sauce for goose...

Who is paying the labor leaders to force some businesses to shut down when they can’t meet the pay demands?.
Someone is getting some huge kick backs.

Living Wage is apparently a great idea until it cuts into the cash flow heading to union coffers.

Translation: give us an exemption so we can finally tap that massive worker base called Walmart. They’ll have to agree to unions and a nation wide agreement. And the employees in other states will come rushing in when we negotiate a chain wide $12 base wage, each employee giving up fifty cents an hour to the union for dues.

Always the same target.

But Rusty Hicks, who heads the county Federation of Labor and helps lead the Raise the Wage coalition, said Tuesday night that companies with workers represented by unions should have leeway to negotiate a wage below that mandated by the law.

Thereby admitting to the veracity of the basic premise against the minimum wage...that it tends to eliminate low-skill jobs by making them too expensive relative to the cost structures for the enterprises they serve.

That is a truly astounding statement!
