It saved me money.
I wont wait on the ridiculous lines at fast food places.
The 15 minimum has been a great thing to me.
Next up: Making it illegal to fire marginal workers and spread their work among the more productive.
It’s not that high yet Upstate, but Upstate is suffering even worse than NYC for the same reason.
This was designed to hurt the elderly economically. Like Chicago, New York want the middle class gone. Then they can claim there are only the wealthy and the poor so we need communism.
Doesn’t really affect me, at least when I go out to eat. A couple of months ago, I was in California, and I simply no longer tip in places with a $15 minimum wage, since the tip is now built into the price.
So when I totaled up the bills I had and compared them to several years ago, before this crap started (and when I did tip), the prices came out about the same.
Basically a push for me, at least for those type of places - obviously other joints, like McDonald’s (as if I would ever go there) or department stores, never had tipping, but then they’re costs are much less driven by labor.
If one must set minimum pay for NYC wouldn’t it be more like $40 an hour? What can you do in NYC on 15? Someone get DB on the phone and freed up the billion dollars his wife has stashed.
Never hear the media upset about rising costs to consumers when it's their policies, but when Trump has tariffs is 24/7 sky is falling because of price increases "passed on to the consumer". The Left's hypocrisy makes them look foolish, facts don't matter, to them a lie is OK if it's for their cause.
Ask the owner of the place where AOC used to work.
The 15 dollar minimum is working perfectly. It is keeping otherwise employable people off the workforce, collecting unemployment and other goodies courtesy of the Democrat Party.
In short a huge success for the party.
Really. Name them. There are probably a million small businesses in NYC area. How many are having trouble? 5?
What it really forces you to do is make sure that nobody works more than 40 hours,...
... that no jobs would be lost, no hours cut, and that businesses wouldn’t suffer if wages were nearly doubled.
Those folks never learned the lessons from obamacare.
The rules did not apply to those working something like 27 hours.
And just like that, everyone got part time jobs maxing at 27 hours per week.
