Of course I believe in free enterprise...but I also speak with my wallet and find it strange that people support companies that actually under mine it! The article states that Starbucks pushes for the absued hourly wage and then immediately cuts employees hours?..go figure....in free enterprise governments do not mandate insane wages in certain areas and then just over the county line wages are normal...look at the exodus of business in seattle and oregon where wages are higher in certain areas?
You speak with your wallet and honor my right to speak with mine. Only a closet Fascist would want otherwise.
I’m a facist?...wow we definitely can agree to disagree then...have a happy 4th.
I called you a Fascist? Try to practice better reading skills.
Have a nice day.
The salient point in this discussion is that they are real costs to the employer, which is really what the conversation should be about here. Just because compensation was focused on (incorrectly in my opinion) doesn’t mean that total compensation and benefits/liabilities on the employer’s side should be ignored.
If employer’s keep echoing their real costs correctly, it is then, and only then that people on a broader scale will realize that it isn’t all rainbows and unicorns being an employer.
