Stage 3. Yep we are winning. Wal Mart is scared.

Wrong. The unions are scared. Now more than half the country is right to work, and shockingly enough, when people have choices, they do not choose unions. Especially the millennials who are nearly all opting out of union jobs. Now unions are acting desperate, trying to push for illegal immigration, trying to sow discontent in the fast food industry, trying to do ANYTHING to stave off their inevitable demise. Freedom works, and when people have freedom, unions are slotted into the ash heap of history.

When did $15 an hour become a lot of money? What is this, 1955?

It's a lot of money for a 15 year-old. Which is who Minimum Wage is for.

You're an Adult and all you can make is MW? You got bigger problems than that.

Many, many Union scumbag Contracts are set to Minimum Wage. If MW goes up 30% so do their Union scumbag wages.

No one, least of all conservatives, are opposed to people making a decent buck. You need to peddle your lie elsewhere.

 

[SillyWabbit]

Is there something anathema to progressives that menial jobs deserve commensurate wages? A crappy job should serve as a stepping stone--not a career.

That's the point. Teenagers don't need a lot of money. They're either in high school and just wanting a little spending money for gas and music CD's or they're in college and trying to earn a little spending money for clothes and food. I think it's healthy for everyone to go through a period in their young life where they don't have a lot of money, the bottom rung where they are motivated to start climbing. The idiots on the Left want kids to be perpetually infantilized, never having to struggle, never having to strive for something better.

Modern-day economy

The Port of Singapore, one of theworld's five busiest,[67] with the skyline of Singapore in the background
Today, Singapore has a highly developed market economy, based historically on extendedentrepôt trade. Along with Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan, Singapore is one of the original Four Asian Tigers. The Singaporean economy is known as one of the freest,[68] most innovative,[69] most competitive,[70] and most business-friendly.[71] The 2013 Index of Economic Freedom ranks Singapore as the second freest economy in the world, behind Hong Kong. According to the Corruption Perceptions Index, Singapore is consistently ranked as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, along with New Zealand and the Scandinavian countries.

Singapore is the 14th largest exporter and the 15th largest importer in the world. The country has the highest trade-to-GDP ratio in the world at 407.9 percent, signifying the importance of trade to its economy. The country is currently the only Asian country to receive AAA credit ratings from allthree major credit rating agencies: Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch.[72][73] Singapore attracts a large amount of foreign investment as a result of its location, corruption-free environment, skilled workforce, low tax rates and advancedinfrastructure. There are more than 7,000 multinational corporations from the United States, Japan, and Europe in Singapore. There are also approximately 1,500 companies from China and a similar number from India. Foreign firms are found in almost all sectors of the country's economy. Singapore is also the second-largest foreign investor in India.[74] Roughly 44 percent of the Singaporean workforce is made up of non-Singaporeans.[75] Over ten free-trade agreements have been signed with other countries and regions.[76] Despite market freedom, Singapore's government operations have a significant stake in the economy, contributing 22% of the GDP.[77]

Singapore also possesses the world's eleventh largest foreign reserves,[78] and has one of the highest net international investment position per capita.[79][80] The currency of Singapore is the Singapore dollar, issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.[81] It is interchangeable with the Brunei dollar.[82]

In recent years, the country has been identified as an increasingly popular tax haven for the wealthy due to the low tax rate on personal income and tax exemptions on foreign-based income and capital gains. Australian millionaire retailer Brett Blundy, with an estimated personal wealth worth AU$835 million, and multi-billionaire Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin are two examples of wealthy individuals who have settled in Singapore (Blundy in 2013 and Saverin in 2012).[83] Singapore ranked fifth on the Tax Justice Network's 2013 Financial Secrecy Index of the world's top tax havens, scoring narrowly ahead of the United States.[84]

Working people do make a decent buck, but they know they're not going to make it at McDonald's. So they go for that welding certificate, that forklift certification, that commercial drivers license, that college degree, or a tour of duty in the military. Only an idiot Leftist thinks that somebody is going to raise a family and buy a home off of fast food wages.

Just checking in. Are they making $15/hour yet?

No?

I guess the OP is still full of shit.

 

[Preacher]

Hey if laughing at us is them raising wags (which they are all doing) FINE WITH ME! They tipped their hand...they lose.

Yawn....Rome wasn't built in a day my boy....the Labor Thieves aka Corporations have started raising wages on their own thanks to our pressure. They tipped their hand by doing so showing that they are bending under the pressure we have already won.

Go to college. Get a valuable degree in the "liberal arts." Go out into the "job" market. Land a job.

Intone the phrase, "want some fries with that?"

You are on the path to a promotion!

Congrats.

But your work hours are being cut because who the fuck can afford to pay all you unskilled college kids $15.00/hour AND then have to cover the health "insurance' costs imposed by ObumblerCare? And frankly, the demand for burgers is going down as the price per "meal" is skyrocketing. Who could have predicted THAT, I wonder?

Plus, by taking these jobs, you are depriving illegal immigrants of their chance to make an income, you selfish bastards.

Yes companies are raising wages on their own and reducing their work force on their own too.

Emoloyees are making more money. There are just fewer employees. So what was it you won?
