Benefits....Yeah...They used to be called "fringe benefits"...Employers used these are a concession to attract the better candidates for their company.Most small business people earn LESS than the minimum wage.
They put their life savings AT RISK, work 80 hour weeks and are expected to also provide a "living wage", whatever the hell that is, on top of that.
No wonder jobs are scarce. I refuse to hire anyone now. Done with that.
People believe they have a right to a job.
A job IS EARNED.
But fuck them, do not need them.
Do what I do. When I interview a candidate for a particular job, I describe the job and tell them what it pays. They don't have to take the job or the salary that is paid as recompense. They are free to get up and walk out the door, just as I am free to hire (or not) the person of my choosing.
I farm it out now, do nothing and get 15% commission.
I am 59 going on 60, own 3 companies with 1 that I use to have an employee.
Done with that. Semi retired. In my work I am responsible for their training, their liability insurance, their bond, everything as I am in a highly regulated industry.
Going rate is $20 a hour but still they are more concerned with benefits.
I HATE THAT FUCKING WORD. BENEFITS has ruined and spoiled the American work force.

If you can't afford to pay someone a decent wage, don't hire anyone and do the work yourself.

Getting rid of all the employees was one of the many reasons I closed my office. When I opened the dog grooming shop I didn't have any at all. If someone showed up at the door when it opened, they got to work the day, got paid for that day and went on their way. No salary, no benefits, no days off, no raises, nothing. I always had someone at the door. One woman was at the door every day, same time, for two years. I never hired her. She showed up, got paid and went home.
Actually I did give her a raise when she moved from bathing to some basic grooming. But I never hired her.
Isn't that illegal? I mean, maybe not to pay someone to work for you, but cash in hand?
And ironically it is you libs that cheer lead for the illegals.Again, the issue is not a pony.
It's a fair distribution of wages of an enterprise.
Sorry.
The enterprise sets the wages.
Employee has the right to market their skills elsewhere for greater remuneration.
Sorry.
Not really. They brought in immigrants, both legal and illegal to keep our wages low. We can't just move to another country, it's impossible. They won't take our unskilled labor. We're the only country in the world that doesn't protect the jobs of it's citizens.
Umm..The owner made a decision that will enable him to keep his business going.
The workers have to find new jobs. And they will think twice before engaging in another one of these fruitless job actions.
But who is going to want to work for someone who will fire you at the drop of a hat?
This comment right here tells me you know not of what you speak. Really, nothing. You would be better off sticking to what you know, but I have yet to be able to determine what that is...
She works at a Mc Donalds. Grossly overpaid due to Australia's stupid wage laws.
Of course she is too stupid to realize that those inflated wages are reflected in the consumer prices. And too stupid to realize those wages are subsidized by taxation.
Check out the price of a movie ticket in Perth. Incredible! Beer? Rent?
Wow
Actually, the employees decide to become union. The employer has little choice in the matter other than closing the doors, reestablish the business later.
it is important to remember that the employer must agree to the terms of a contract between the union and the business.
Yes, years ago, if a business owner refused to bargain, the employees could walk and shut down the business. That no longer is the case.
For example. A branch of Dish Network Service Corp( DNSC) in Maryland, terminated all of it's technicians because they elected to join a union.
The company simply refused to bargain with the union management. they simply waited out the employees who voted to for the union. The company went by the book. They fired people for being late. For declining work assignments. For incorrect paperwork. For working unauthorized overtime...After about a month, the entire technician corps was turned over.
Unions simply do not have the kind of clout they once had.
Yep, and thank goodness for small favors. Of course, it doesn't stop the union mobs from trying to coerce others into toeing their line, or stop them from extorting member dues to use to buy off politicians.
I worked for one union shop, a 'closed shop' at that. During company indoctrination, the local union representative showed up, passed out some forms for us to sign, and explained to us that if we did not sign those forms authorizing initiation fees and union dues to be automatically withheld from our pay by a certain deadline, they would report us to the company and we would be terminated. I raised my hand, asked him if what he was saying was that if we did not pay their dues and fees, we could not hold a job with the company? Yes, that's right, he says. I explain to him that making us pay to hold a job, or be fired, was extortion in my dictionary. The guy went apoplectic.
Needless to say, if the place I work now goes union, I will quit. I will not be forced to pay extorted fees to keep my job.
It is not mine, but one poster described you as "painfully stupid". I cannot top that except to add painfully simplistic, which is really an extension of the former anyway.Again, why we need massive taxation on the rich to create jobs and to rip up alll the free trade treaties and tax the slave labor shit coming in from China.
Problem solved.
Guy, once again, we enjoyed our greatest prosperity when the workforce was unionized, the minimum wage law had teeth, and teh rich paid excessive taxes.
It really is pretty fucking simple. Everything the Conservatives say about Economics is as wrong as three left nuts.
They? You mean government?Or we just stop putting up with it and vote in raises.
OOOOPS. there it is.
Vote in raises? Really dude?
And just under what authority would government have to regulate market labor rates?
You must be even more stupid than once thought.
World War II and after they regulated labor rates and wages, and it worked just fine.
Again, greatest prosperity when we were unionized and everyone worked for a living wage.
A living wage, just like everyone else.
Quantify a living wage.
Do you see working in a sandwich shop as a career?
Enough to pay rent and pay for food.
I don't care if it's a career or not.
There should not be a class of jobs of second class workers that it is okay to abuse and underpay.
Oh, one more thing you jerkwads don't seem to get.
When those sandwich makers have to go on Medicaid to get medical care, and get food stamps to put food on the table, and apply for section 8 vouchers to put a roof over their heads, who do you think is PAYING for that?
Well, working on the assumption you have a real job, you are, dumbass.
Once again, you've demonstrated that you have nothing to add.Does anyone bother to read the links before they start a thread?

Seems to me GD has it figured pretty well.
By-the-way, please quantify "decent wage".

Actually our most prosperous decade was the 1990's.

The workforce was never unionized. This has been explained to you many times.

Once again you demonstrate a propensity to distort the facts . You resort to spewing the most brain dead shit house rhetoric known to exist in USMB

You mean when Clinton gave the unions everything they wanted and raised taxes on the rich?
[

Good jobs were unionized. Mediocre jobs paid a good wage to prevent a union forming and because- again- the minimum wage actually meant something up until 1980 or so.

The fact is, the America I grew up in was a much better place to live than the one we do now.
And it was Reagan and the Bushes who fucked it up for the rest of us.

SO you believe that before the equal rights amendment that Pres. Johnson created-- The USA was a better place.
You know a time with less Government, true competition, rewards for accomplishments. "that Era"
Yep there was a housing boom, industry boom USA oil boom and we did not believe in such bull as Global Warming Gay Rights, Woman's rights and green cards just to name a few of the stupid things.
Is that the era--you know when you wanted to advance your education you paid for it and property taxes were under control--and doctors were cheap.
Was it the era when there was no Wall Mart and things from China were considered Junk? Maybe you even shopped at Macy's or Gimbals. Wow it sure seems like a couple of hundred years ago. Happy New Year
glad I'm getting old.
Actions have consequences. A sub shop in Chicago was the target of a recent protest of workers wanting $15.00 an hour. The shop fired everyone, three days before Christmas, en masse, everyone got the can.
That's the way to deal with these kinds of protests.
Chicago sandwich shop fires all its staff in an EMAIL just days before Christmas | Mail Online
A Chicago sandwich shop has fired all its employees over email just days before Christmas.
Staff at Snarf's Sub Shop in River North received the bad news on Sunday night in a group email notifying them that the drastic action was effective immediately.
The company blamed 'increased competition and losses' for the firings.
Director of operations Doug Besant said in the email the restaurant will likely close for a month as they remodel and reconcept the business into a burger joint.
The River North Snarf's shop was closed for four days, from December 5 until December 8, as employees went on striking for higher wages and better benefits.
They joined workers of fast-food chains like McDonald's, Subway, Potbelly and others in a broader strike orchestrated by the Worker's Organizing Committee of Chicago.
