Easy - union contracts are tied to the minimum wage, so that means mandatory salary increases for union workers all over the city.
Which means more union dues will be collected.
Which means larger contributions will go to the Democratic Party.
Which means the Democratic Party will be staffing up with more professional activists and community organizers...IOW, the very people who were pushing so hard for the minimum wage increase.
See how easy this is?
Next lesson will be on how cities try to import as many homeless people as possible, so they can shake down downtown businesses for more contributions...to hire professional activists and community organizers to "tackle" the problems. :)
So far, no one has solved this riddle: how do you create MORE jobs while forcing employers to raise wages by 107%, from $7.25 to $15?

EXACTLY!!! Most Americans under 40 today don’t realize that union contracts are tied directly to the minimum wage.
Some are on a percentage basis. Some are on a dollar basis.
A union worker already getting $30 an hour plus benefits would get $7.75 more per hour immediately.
The unions have outlived their usefulness & the SEIU union is trying to capture the unskilled end of the spectrum. They are a very nasty union, also. Brings back memories of the Teamsters under Hoffa.
