These idiots think 25 bucks an hour should be minimum wage? What happens when a loaf of bread rises to 10 bucks? Their stupidity should be a case study. Prices are directly correlated to the economy and wage dynamics.
These Libs that have no idea what the work force is all about are in for a surprise.
They know nothing about management both Upper down to the work mules that keep the company in business.
Without Union workers, this is a whole new ball game. Gets interesting how life goes.
Non Union promote from within, so a kid right out of highschool, with or with out a diploma, gets a ball breaking job at minimun wage, male or female with no particular skill and gets a $25. cents more and hour after 6 months. At one year another $25. cents and hours an $25 cents a year there after. After 2 years they get a one week paid vacation. Keeping an eye on job postings they put in for ANY job qualified or not and sometimes no one else wants the job and their pay jumps by $1.00 an hour. In two years they have gone from minimun wage to almost two dollars an hour with company benefits for health care, 401K and other benefits. At 3 years when they turn 21, they are granted 2 weeks vacation and if they keep an eye for job postings and paid attention they may get another $1.00 an hour raise Not bad for a kid with no skills when they started.
Floor sweepers jobs go to the loyal employee of 20-30 years that now cannot keep up with the youth. This is not an easy Job, not just sweeping the floors but carting out 50 gallon tubs weighing half their weight and dumping it, lots of manual work for anyone that works as a Mule regardless of their job. They may get $25.00 ph but by golly they earned it.
Workers rights at one time infuriated me, why were men paid more then women as they had a wife and kids to support?
I see both sides of the problem, Here are young workers coming into a job, skilled or not, expecting to receive the same pay as the loyal workers that bust Ass for years working and slowly getting raises and benefits that they earned by hard work.
Easy question here, Say you worked for an employer for 15 years and found the minimun wage was now twice as it was when you started working, took years of work to get to the wage you are at and now these new people came in making just $25 cents less then you do now and you have to train them to walk and chew gum at the same time ???
BTDT, a bitch as when the minimum wage is raised the long time loyal employees do not get the difference in their pay check.
If You get my drift, everyone starts at the bottom and has to WORK their way up, to expect to start over those that bust ass to work for years at the same pay is, I must say, same as complaining one has 5 kids to support and the job you want needs to be yours should go to you as some old lady with no dependents makes that salary after 40 years.
We are heading back to the 1950's and 1960's Damn Libs now wanting to work at a salary that they need for them selves and family. Work is work, If I am a single gal working the same job as a man with 6 kids to support, and find he is paid more then me because his life style choices-----screw that.
Oh and what does this do to the Gay Community, do Gays get less pay then a heterosexual worker because they do not need the money and workers with children need it ???? Something for the non Breeders to think about, Big run on Romania to adopt non wanted children.
RANT over--for now. Gina it is bolla, bolla, a penny a pinch. I got a wife the darling of my life singing Bolla Bollae a Penny a Pinch. I Have a lovely bunch of Coconuts there they are a standing in a row. Somekind of song from the 1950's that my dad and Mom sang, and they though Elvis was Odd.
