Give them the raise. The working poor are among the hardest working people in America. And the work many of them do is vital to keeping our businesses and homes and hospitals functioning. They deserve decent pay.
It isn't "give these hard-working folks a raise."
It's "Force employers to raise entry-level salaries to a point that will eliminate huge numbers of jobs."
You have it exactly ass backward.
This is not about poor people. This is about union contract wages tied to the minimum wage. Union raises at the expense of the working poor. Do you think SEIU is championing this to benefit the entry level workers? They're feathering their own bed - entry level be damned...
Define ‘hardest working’ please.
That $15/hour minimum wage is being demanded by the SEIU who is using these people as pawns due to union membership tanking out. No members no money!
Once the SEIU has their claws in them, they’ll STILL be working for $7.25/hour and the remainder will be Union Dues going directly into the SEIU coffers and then on to the DNC slush funds.
Seriously? You don’t get that?
Do you understand anything about economics at all?
It is the government’s job to set wages based on an ignorant whim of uneducated lazy liberals?
What are you doing on FR?
