Just like with Obamacare, unions now want an exemption from the $15 per hour minimum wage standard they have been demanding.

[Steely Tom]

What an absolute joke these people are.

Bump

[Don Corleone]

Unions have long since served their purpose. Bye Bye!

[Alberta's Child]

LMAO.

Only the leadership of a Los Angeles labor union would be dumb enough to push for conditions where a union worker gets paid less than the minimum wage ... and can get himself an instant raise just by quitting the 'effing union.

[PCPOET7]

why would I want to belong to an organization that would negotiate a wage lower then state mandated minimum wage for non union members....I think the union is showing its stripes and that stripe is being a protection racket

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Unfortunately, the LIVs don’t see the hypocrisy and cronyism though. They’re getting $15/hr, and they can finally buy those new LeBron James NBA Finals jerseys

So when will the average idiot on the street figure out these scams? They keep falling for them.

[VerySadAmerican]

These idiots just don’t get it. Everything will go up in price. Landlords will raise the rent because the renters now make more money. McDonald’s will raise the price of hamburgers. And those working at McDonalds will no longer get free burgers. They’ll have to pay for them with that extra pay they’re now getting. Everything in Los Angeles will go up. After a while Los Angeles will go belly up.

“companies with workers represented by unions should have leeway to negotiate a wage below that mandated by the law.”

People with blue eyes should never have to pay for parking.

[4Liberty]

Outrageous, nauseating, and disgusting. Like these creeps are somehow “better” than the average struggling competitive business owner.

[CyberAnt]

These unions just make you want to puke.

[NYRepublican72]

Welcome to the 2015 modern union shakedown racket. Become a union shop, or you can’t afford to run a business.

Also, a tacit admission that $15/hr is too much for menial labor jobs.

But a great way of protecting your members, union thugs... Come work for us... We’ll get you a gig UNDER minimum wage.

[Nailbiter]

Way I read this is that unions just backdoored membership- you do not want to pay $15 per hour- let work force unionize. membership and dues go up- pay scale stays the same- screwing the worker again.
So you want a job go union- you want higher pay and no job go minimum wage
