Question for you (or perhaps Mrs. S.).
This morning, Quinn got a caller who challenged his statement that union contracts are often tied to the minimum wage.
Caller wanted Quinn to come up with an actual union contract that had such a clause in it.
Do you know if this is common practice?
My guess would be that it would depend on the union. Maybe the SEIU contracts would be tied to minimum wage, but I can’t imagine that trade unions have much of a relationship to minimum wage.
Mrs S has never seen any union contract tied to minimum wage. Union wages are so much higher, they would never do that.
