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.

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.

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.

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.
