Once again you confuse opposition to government mandating of something with opposition to the actual item in question.

Results are the same regardless

No, because when you raise the minimum you get stuck with the people worth less than the minimum wage. Here you raise wages and benefits to attract a better level of employee.

Huh?

That is a stupid argument. So somehow employers are able to better scrutinize potential employees when they voluntarily raise the wage but are " stuck" with worthless employees with a MW increase?

That's a special kind of logic.

They attract a better level of employee when they raise wages paid in the absence of a general increase due to MW increases mandated by the government.

Why is that so hard to understand?

Because it makes no sense whatsoever.
They always have control over who they hire. Increased wages make the job more appealing. The results are the same either way.

it makes it more appealing to someone who thinks their worth is at that wage level, and has the skill to back it up. If they don't have the skill, the company will hire someone who does.

When you inflate wages via government action, that mechanism is removed.

So they cannot hire skillful people because....what?

And then there is reality on the ground.
I am close friends with three FF franchise owners.
When this minimum wage bullshit started all of them went to their accounts. "I have six full time employees and a 'pool' of about twenty part time employees to draw on.
How can I work things so I don't have to raise the menu prices?"
Answer: "Reduce the full time employees to the best three. Put the other three into the part time pool. Only give hours to the best in the 'pool".
Invest in that fully automated chip frier with the saving from getting rid of three of the full time employees.

Who suffered? The three former full time employees. No one else.

McDonalds sales improved dramatically after they went to all day breakfast, and returned their Egg McMuffin to the original recipe. This happened last October. Before they raised wages you morons.

“The improvements we made to our compensation and benefits package to employees in U.S.-company operated restaurants, along with expanding Archways to Opportunity … have resulted in lower crew turnover and higher customers satisfaction scores,” Easterbrook said.

.

The rise from a $9.10 an hour to $9.90 an hour pay rate...paid days off...and tuition help...doesn't prove that a $15 an hour minimum wage would boost sales...all it proves is that the natural competition between free market employers to keep good employees is working as it should. McDonald's raised it's rates because it wanted to retain good people. That wasn't done because of government legislation.

LOL, leave it to gub'mint worshipers to equate a private company increasing employee compensation voluntarily with government price controls on the labor market, that's like saying that if removing a brain tumor yields positive results it proves that removing the whole brain is a good idea.

You seem to forget that the argument from you people for ages has always been that a minimum wage increase would cripple the fast food industry.

 

[Arianrhod]

Customers have no interest in what burger flippers make. There is no customer satisfaction when the kitchen crew gets a raise.

So you're saying the CEO of McDonald's is lying? Or just that you know more about his company than he does? Proof?

Well then go argue with McDonalds' CEO. He's the one contradicting what you're claiming.

Do you not grasp the difference between an employer competing against other employers to keep good workers by raising wages and offering benefits...and the government passing legislation that artificially sets wages?

 

[Rozman]

If Micky D's wants to blow the doors off the competition why not hire
100 employees extra per store and pay everyone $20.00 per hr....

I'm just using Lib math here folks....


McDonalds' Higher Wages = Higher Sales...

Sure there's a difference. The government should set a minimum wage.

Did you tell that to the CEO who cited the breakfast and increased pay as being why? You should probably tell him how to run a business

That's what's called a strawman.

 

[BluesLegend]

I see the left is ignoring the fact that sales first fell in response to their food tasting like ass, then rose after they improved the menu and offered all day breakfast which is the one area of their menu that remained popular. That sales rose in response to price increases, well only a liberal would believe that.

Your snip doesn't support the premise. So, you're either lazy or stupid. I'm not reading the article to find out which.

No that's not the argument oh brainless gub'mint worshiper and it never has been the argument, the argument against it is that it will cost unskilled workers at the bottom of the scale their jobs and/or opportunities to actually get a job in the first place, apparently you were sick the day they taught that wages come from worker productivity NOT government mandates in economics 101.

You need proof, go ahead and ask all the minimum wage gas pumpers how MW increases worked out for them... oh wait, they don't exist anymore because MW mandates priced them out of the labor market, or ask all the cashiers in those retail outlets that got replaced by self service check out lines how labor market price controls are working out for 'em.

If minimum wage increases are so good for the economy then why are all the states that are passing increases to $15 an hour phasing them in over time? why not do it immediately? and why do they include provisions to suspend them if the economy slows?

Why?

Since the government is incapable of even doing something as simple as balancing a budget...why would you ever let them determine something that affects all American's jobs?
