Aww are the widdle capitalists upset the workers are realising how much value is being stolen from them?
Maybe corporations should pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Pay what people feel they are worth, or go out of business.
Isnt that what everyone here wants, the power of the free market to weed out inefficient businesses?
Its literally a 70 cent rise. Thats barely inflation matching.
Cry more, capitalists.
Labor can’t compete back! That’s not fair!!
This isn’t the free market when it’s mandated by law. The wages in a free market would be determined by supply and demand without government collusion
We don’t live in a free market when business cartels can fix wages.
This is labor competing back with the same methods that capital uses.
Cry harder.
Isn’t about labor at all. It’s about the government setting wages.
Lots of people lost their jobs or hours. It’s weird you like to see them suffer by incompetent government action.
Do you think labor is the only one lobbying the government regarding wages?
Wake up.
Do you always talk in circles ? My statement is accurate. It isn’t free market when the government is mandating.
Unions are free market.
Now why you want the workers to cry harder is a weird response. Lots of people lost their jobs over this and you celebrate. Typical liberal.
Unions are aggressively suppressed by employers both via illegal tactics and lobbying the state for anti union laws.
I am sure you know these facts… By we don’t see you crying over it unlike peasant win wage lol
In context of what I said, this makes zero sense.
Do you always ignore what is inconvenient to you?
We don’t live in a free market. It’s a conservative fantasy. Grow up sometime.
When you start bitching about corporations lobbying the government to keep wages down maybe I’ll take you seriously.
I never made the claim that we lived in a free market. Do you always make things up?
I responded to the statement that this was a free market and pointed out that we are not a free market .
Somebody’s reading comprehension needs some work. You should quit as a mod.
It’s mandated by law because the corporations are too large to care to do it themselves and have to be told.
They’re just worried about making more money this quarter than last quarter. Under that reality, a law becomes necessary. Corporations have clearly shown they won’t pay their workers a decent wage when they don’t have to.
