They should increase it to $20/hr and make it immediately instead of phasing it in. The poor can’t wait 3 years for it. Do it now! Lets see the immediate effect
There shouldn’t be a minimum wage at any time!
Of course, it's supported by the labor unions. Many union contracts define wages to be paid as some multiple of minimum wage.
Absolutely! 100% Y.E.S. - They can raise the minimum wage to whatever number tickles their fancy right after I meet the Lord in the air.
The unions know their membership's wages are pegged to the minimum wage. Any increase in the minimum wage will increase union wages proportionally. An increase in wages will jack up union dues. The dues money will be used for Democrat candidate political campaigns and socialist voter initiatives.
When union state worker wages go up, it demands more taxes to pay for them. The increase in the minimum wage is all about unions.
For kids trying to enter the labor force, they will continue to live with their parents who will foot the bill at a time when they need to save for their retirement.
Finally, the minimal gain through a minimum wage increase will get eaten up through inflation. Meanwhile, the true driving force for higher wages, business prosperity, will be set back through the economic impact from the artificial nature of a minimum wage increase.
i support $50/hr. why be stingy?
the only thing to do is step back and let the idiots destroy themselves as quick as possible.
Why $13.09 lets make it $100 an hour that will cure being poor. Idiots. Its California what would you expect.
What does the nine cents mean? Why Obama’s $10.10, Numerology?
Yes I do!
Let San Diego see what happens when it drives all its businesses bankrupt.
The current generation of voters in San Diego needs to learn the hard way.
They’re told again and again by people who know better it won’t work but they refuse to believe it.
Maybe a slap in the face will wake enough voters up. Not all of them, surely. Some are beyond help. But perhaps enough to counteract the imbeciles.
Why not $130.90 per hour?
I think it’s an excellent idea. As a matter of fact I think they should raise it to $75.00 per hour.
The people would wake up to the price of bread moving up to $20.00 per loaf and all other products and services advancing up to a staggering price due to the huge cost of manpower to produce them.
Let them poop in their own cage and then live in it.
Sure! But I don’t live in San Diego. If they want to drive out jobs I say more power to them.
