I am a one man union and I am on strike today. I am sitting thinking about all the things I should be doing but I am not going to do any of them. I do have some mechanical work to do. I am going to put a rear end in my recliner!!!

Happy Labor Day.

So a worker can have the day off with pay or work today with a higher wage. Choices. Or

Louise and Jim run a small hometown store . They can afford to pay $95 per hour for help so they have 13 employees at $7.25 per Kansas law. If required to pay $8.50 per hour they will need to fire Tom and Maria and work the others harder.

Two can play that game.

If we follow that line of reasoning then there should never be an increase in minimum wage.
And how did we ever do it in the past without wrecking the economy.

Personally, I would rather see the price for living be lowered

BUT since more workers are making more $, they have more disposable income !

With that increased disposable income, the hometown store gets more business and they have to hire Tom and Maria back !! laugh

2 can play that scenario !! grin

And I sure don't see the CEOs, and mid-managers taking cuts (or turning down raises) to save a few jobs at the bottom, Dave. Nice try, no cigar !

Happy Labor Day to you!

I'm non-union and not working today.

I'm with MrB on the minimum wage thing.

Have a great day! smile

OR, they can make cutbacks in other areas and/or raise prices a bit to cover costs. You're correct that there are choices to be made, but they don't necessarily have to involve firing people.
