Farm workers were excited when Washington state expanded overtime wages. Now they want it repealed because they can't get hours.

ONLY with a shortage of workers will workers be able to exercise any leverage over their slave masters.

There should be no minimum wage. If you're a company and need labor, you pay what you need to make your profit. When you're told what to pay someone arbitrarily, you'll lose money. So why start or run a business?
Some people would rather give billions to powerful management than hike to lowest of employees.
Libertarian man-eats-man world to achieve survival of fittest is cannibalistic and achieve lower economic outcome as it quickly becomes lawless.
Currently US workers make lowest share of income but some people still blame them for unemployment.
Wake up and get into reality.
patrick , You are sane centrist.. What do you think? .. Is higher wages of labor a cause of concern in our country or management making it like bandits?
Furthermore, the average small business can not afford to increase prices to pay higher wages so they are likely to go out of business or drastically cut back services. Many pizza places have already decided to lay off their delivery staff due the minimum wage hikes. Hope you enjoy destroying jobs Democrats.

Given how Sikhs don't know economics, it is more apparent to me why the street shitters rule over them.
Anybody seen ground beef 80/20 in any supermarket for $2.23 recently?

You're either going to pay the lowest wag earners more or it's going to cost the taxpayers more in social safety net costs.

Lowering welfare needs to be an option as well.
So instead of needing a 5 person crew, they can reduce to a 4 person crew in order to realize savings, or there is a noticeable increase in unit output relative to the increase in unit cost.
More homeless and closer to a 3rd world shithole? Sounds great.

Need to incentivize and reward work and productivity gains.
Offer tax breaks or credits for housing for the worker class as one way to improve their standard of living and increase disposable income.
As far as your other comment about wealth/income inequality, there could be more emphasis on profit-sharing incentives such as offering shares of a company to its workers ranging from McDonalds to Walmart.
.
I dare say the tax code is a huge contributor to the problem also. You get more of what you incentivize.

I know many people who already have to do 2-3 jobs because of cuts everywhere, those cuts have been triggered by dumb Democrat laws, one was Obamacare.
Constantly raising cost of employment and goods, and everyone is fucked at the end. I swear Democrats are most economically illiterate people on the fucking planet.
