Unions are the ones pushing this minimum wage crap.
Most people don’t know that those pushing the min wage increases #1 don’t give a damn about low wage workers, and #2 already make way over Min wage. In fact they couldn’t care less if every one of the minimum wage workers lose their job!
Why? Because many union contracts have a clause that automatically raise their wages when the minimum wage goes up.
A common clause would say...lazy communist employee ‘A’ will get $27 per hour, OR... 3 three times the minimum wage plus $3.58 per hour for the duration of this contract.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who benefits most if minimum wage is raised by $2 and hour, communist slug A’s wage just went up by $6 an hour instantly! Who cares if the poor schmuck making minimum wage gets fired, we get more money and union dues increase!
Double the minimum wage to $15 and commie bastard ‘A’ just got a $22.50 hour raise! PS...commie slug ‘A’ likely is a public sector employee, so you’ll be paying that increase.
Unions are like baby seals, liberals think they’re cute, I think they should be clubbed at birth, skinned, and their carcasses’ fed to the sharks.
Unions are irrelevant. Only 7% of the workforce is unionized, and the amount is FALLING.
That’s only half the story. If it wasn’t for min. wage employers could hire as many employees as they wanted to to replace the ‘skilled’ union worker.
