Raising the minimum wage, with the corresponding reduction in jobs and rise in unemployment, doesn't really help the unskilled workers.

It does help union workers whose contracts are often tied to the minimum wage rate by giving them an increase.

So, the union members get an increase and the unskilled workers have a harder time finding any job at all thanks to these democrats.
