Bernie Sanders to cut campaign hours to pay staffers $15 an hour minimum wage, prompting mockery fro

Him and management have criticized staffers for utilizing the very basic tenets of leverage available to organized labor, and has been hit with a labor complaint for violating their basic labor rights by engaging in interrogation, intimidation, and retaliation against staffers.

No Presidential candidate can ever claim to be "pro labor"

 

He has not called you any names, has he?

 

He's a disgrace to the high office he holds. Why do you support him?

 

You failed to answer my question

 

Take Bernie at his word:

 

He's just trying to help!

 

It's obvious he didn't call "Langleyman" any names. I thought your question was rhetorical.

 

Alas, when Boss has to pay the newbie $15/hour, he will have to raise the offer to the get someone to bar tend.

P.S. We should have a negative income tax instead of a minimum wage.

 

Sanders is no longer a socialist. What he is, actually, is a redistributionist.

 

Who is earning the minimum wage? Trainees? Who is going to an entry level person $15 / hr. No one.

Why should the Federal government have anything to do with minimum wages when Liberals have driven the cost of living in their cities so high that people can only afford to live on the street ,,, while in real America ,,, people are doing just fine? It is rare that large increases in the Federal minimum wage doesn't cause a recession ,,, throwing millions out of work. The Bernie campaign is a microcosm of the disasters caused when the federal government interferers in the relationship between employers and employees.

 

Not rhetorical

Washington politicians and news media celiberties are trump’s targets and they deserve no hand-wringing from you

Liberals otoh routinely attack trump voters as racists and other vile personal attacks

Hillary called trump supporters “Deplorables”

Obama called the “clingers”

 

Really? You expect me to take seriously your question about Trump calling "Langleyman" names?

And they get none.

And Trumpites don't?

Still fighting the 2016 election?

And 2012?

 

I dont know what you mean

 

You're right. He should pay them more.

 

Or less. The real minimum wage is zero.

UNEXPECTEDLY: New York City Businesses Struggle to Keep Up After Minimum Wage Increase. “Business owners and leaders say labor costs have forced cuts in jobs and work shifts.”

Many business owners said these changes were unintended consequences of the new minimum wage, which took effect at the beginning of the year.

Susannah Koteen, owner of Lido Restaurant in Harlem, said she worries about the impact raising wages could have on her restaurant, where she employs nearly 40 people. She hasn’t had to lay off anyone, but the increase has forced her to cut back on shifts and be more stringent about overtime. She said she changes her menu offerings seasonally and raises prices more often since the wage boost.

“What it really forces you to do is make sure that nobody works more than 40 hours,” Ms. Koteen said. “You can only cut back so many people before the service starts to suffer.”

Ms. Koteen said she shelved plans to move her restaurant to a larger location. That would require her to hire more staff, and she isn’t willing to take the risk with the unpredictability of her business. “You would just have no choice but to cut people at the bottom,” she said.​

“Thomas Grech, president of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, said he has seen an uptick in small-business closures during the past six to nine months, and he attributed it to the minimum-wage legislation.”

If only there were some sort of predictable relationship between price and demand, perhaps one you could plot on an easy-to-understand curve, then politicians wouldn’t keep making this mistake.
