WFB: The Fight for $15 campaign, a movement that advocates for a $15-an-hour minimum wage, will soon vote to join the Service Employees International Union.
The SEIU has been a major supporter of Fight for $15, contributing $20 million to activist and front groups responsible for organizing protests as well as public relations campaigns. The $20 million represents only a portion of the more than $100 million used for non-membership services, $48 million of which went to political activities.
Labor watchdogs have said they are not surprised the Fight for $15 is being brought into the fold. Michael Saltsman, research director at the free-market Employment Policies Institute, said that the union needs to “justify its investment” given the large amount of worker dues put into financing the front groups’ activities.
“With more than $70 million spent on the Fight for $15, the SEIU is in desperate need of new dues-paying members to help justify its investment,” he said. “SEIU leadership are keenly aware that their huge investment only makes sense if it gets them more unionized workplaces and more dues-paying members. So far it looks like the strategy hasn’t worked.” more here
They don’t understand economics very well, if the entry level pay is $15 an hour.
Everything will cost more to offset the higher pay scale.
That’s why hamburger in Venezuela is $170
Econ, want cheese on that? Only 55.00
More than double the minimum wage? Hey, what a great idea!
It has taken me since 1994 to double my wage. But hey, I’m never gonna vote Democrat, so screw me.
Double the wage, triple the price.
If that’s the wage there won’t be any room for Illegal Immigrants working on the cheap because running water is still a Wonder in their home town.
That means the quality of services will go way down because of the shithead millennials flooding the market who cannot be separated from the internet for more than ten minutes at a time.
Hotel rooms will be filthy
Fast food will wretched
Ptomaine will bask in a revival
Customer service will become irony
I intend to buy stock in anything that has the words Robot, and Burger in the title
To be re-named Fight for $12.30 (after union dues)
