Pelosi has now said that she wants the exemption taken off. In other words - she is going to ruin Samoa's main business!
As a new bill or in the conference committee? It will be interesting to see any floor debate on this - finally, the argument that raising the minimum wage causes lost jobs will be crystal clear, especially if the canneries make a specific threat to close if the minimum wage is doubled.

It was just a quick clip with Brian Wilson on Fox so no details on how. It looks more like Pelosi is willing to destroy Samoa's tuna business than have a real debate on the effects of raising the minimum rage.
Perhaps a GOP Senator or two - could take a cue from this and force a debate in the Senate?
