With Support of Just 3 Republicans, House Democrats Pass 'Historic' Raise the Wage Act to Guarantee Workers $15 Minimum Wage

Progressives in Congress were joined by workers, business owners, and labor rights advocates in celebrating the "historic" passage on Thursday of the Raise the Wage Act, aimed at guaranteeing all American workers a minimum wage of $15.

Two hundred thirty House Democrats were joined by only three Republicans—Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Will Hurd of Texas, and Christopher H. Smith of New Jersey—in supporting the Raise the Wage Act (RTWA), which would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025 and end the use of sub-minimum wages for tipped workers.

This photo is of union workers going on strike for higher wages. It has nothing to do with minimum wage laws. Other people can work for whatever they want. This is the union taking a stand, not a legal mandate on everyone.

 

[The Original Tree]

I say pass it. That and unlimited illegal immigration will put a lot of Democrat Supporters out of work.

and it was true, why do you think there is no longer a textile industry in the USA? Answer: the textile workers union.

Actually Jimmy Carter signed some trade legislation which allowed Asia and other Countries to dump Textiles on US soil at below average Manufacturing Costs. He also did the same thing to the Steel Industry and our Electronics Industry.

The Unions, and I am not a big fan of them, were just symptomatic of that situation, and nothing they did would have helped when you had an Idiot for a President that wanted to sing Kumbayah in The White House and not realize that our Economic Rivals were sharpening their knives to carve up American Manufacturing.

Bill Clinton was more of the same with NAFTA.

Both Carter and Clinton were Globalists.
Same with Obama.
Id say Bush was a Globalist too.

Trump is the first president since Reagan who has pushed back against Globalism, and this is why The Left is Mad as Hell.

Literally Insane with Rage, they are.

Do people remember that before Jimmy Carter, our shoes and clothes were all made in America? So were our Electronics.

thats true, but if not for the unions it would not have worked. you are correct that Trump is the first recent president to put this country ahead of the "global economy".

will the $15/hour apply to illegal aliens picking oranges? Think about that for a minute before answering.

 

[rightwinger]

So the liberals want to replace teenagers working in fast food with kiosks? Thats already happening. Labor rates should be be determined by supply and demand just like anything else. Low skills = low pay. Its why a brain surgeon makes more than a janitor.

No one earns minimum wage as a lifetime job, its a starting point or a place for teens to work in the summer and holidays.

this entire debate is ridiculously dumb, as are the morons in the house that passed it.

Its quite simple, raise the price of labor and the employer has only two choices, employ fewer people or raise his prices, neither helps the lower and middle classes.

Those kiosks are coming regardless of the minimum wage

If fast food restaurants want to man their own drive thrus, fill their own orders, cook their own food, sweep their own floors and clean their own toilets

They are welcome to do so

the kiosks only get installed when the cost of labor is higher than the cost of buying and running the kiosks. Many restaurant owners are already having to do their own clean up work. They have no choice when the people they can hire are too good to do manual labor and still demand $15/hr.

How is a low income person helped when he gets a raise but the price of everything he buys goes up by the same %? Labor is the major cost driver in most retail outlets, when labor goes up the owner has to either raise his prices, hire fewer people, or go out of business. None of those help the low income worker.

Besides, no one works at a minimum wage job as their life's work, it is a starting point or a temporary job for teens.

Nonsense

Kiosks are the wave of the future. So is ordering off an app on your smart phone.

They are already here and guess what?
They came with a minimum wage of $7.25

True. Businesses are preparing for the future. Driverless tractor-trailers are being experimented with on the road today.

Good to see you agree that the minimum wage is a senseless argument and that it should be zero.

There will always be low skilled jobs. There will always be a proportion of the workforce to fill them

When will CEOs be replaced by a computer !

 

[rightwinger]

will the $15/hour apply to illegal aliens picking oranges? Think about that for a minute before answering.

Yes
They have been exploited for generations

 

[Markle]

No they’re not. They’re paid the least amount the corporation can get them to accept.

I like your meme. The growing class of parasites are shareholders who live off the workers who produce and who need living wages.

If I accept a wage from an employer, that is my exact worth. How is it NOT? Please be specific.

Are you not a shareholder in any company? What plan do you have for your retirement? Only Social Security? Is that all you're worth?

 

[Markle]

Where are those jobs today?

NAFTA.

Once our government in cohoots with business owners/CEO's opened the escape hatch for our companies to go full speed ahead with seeking out global workforces in communist or any other countries that were willing to provide slave labor for a fee, is when the end of American exceptionalism began, and the clock began to tick away our sovereignty, our individualism, our freedom's, our strength, our middle class, our work forces, and our job's.

We see the results of it all years later, and we see the huge effort to cover it all up now.

Then Trump came along with his make America great again mantra, and his talk about all the factories that have been idled here, and how they have since become a huge eye sore to all American's, and how it is proof of a failed greed ridden marketing strategy.... It also serves as an example or proof to the negative fall out we've experienced here in result of it all.

Progressives in Congress were joined by workers, business owners, and labor rights advocates in celebrating the "historic" passage on Thursday of the Raise the Wage Act, aimed at guaranteeing all American workers a minimum wage of $15.

Two hundred thirty House Democrats were joined by only three Republicans—Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Will Hurd of Texas, and Christopher H. Smith of New Jersey—in supporting the Raise the Wage Act (RTWA), which would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025 and end the use of sub-minimum wages for tipped workers.

With Support of Just 3 Republicans, House Democrats Pass 'Historic' Raise the Wage Act to Guarantee Workers $15 Minimum Wage

An artificial minimum wage is a stupid idea.

A national minimum wage in a country with more than 3000 counties all with different cost of living is a historically stupid idea.

I think they should have a minimum wage of a buck an hour in red states so they can put their lack of buck where the hungry mouths are.

And in Blue states pay $15 an hour like they're doing already since they produce the jobs and economic activity.
