Title: LA unions want min wage exemption from their own min wage hike
Post by: taxed on May 27, 2015, 09:19:44 PM
Liberals, when we call you idiots hypocrites, don't think we're calling you that just because.  You people exhibit hypocrisy at every single turn, on every issue.  Here's the latest that just makes me laugh at how stupid you people really are.

QuoteThe push to include an exception to the mandated wage increase for companies that let their employees collectively bargain was the latest unexpected detour as the city nears approval of its landmark legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020.

For much of the past eight months, labor activists have argued against special considerations for business owners, such as restaurateurs, who said they would have trouble complying with the mandated pay increase.
QuoteBut Rusty Hicks, who heads the county Federation of Labor and helps lead the Raise the Wage coalition, said Tuesday night that companies with workers represented by unions should have leeway to negotiate a wage below that mandated by the law.

"With a collective bargaining agreement, a business owner and the employees negotiate an agreement that works for them both. The agreement allows each party to prioritize what is important to them," Hicks said in a statement. "This provision gives the parties the option, the freedom, to negotiate that agreement. And that is a good thing."

Hollywood is a little nervous:

Quote
But caterers, prop houses, nurseries and numerous other businesses that support Hollywood productions pay many of their workers minimum wage or close to it, and an increase in their costs for workers would likely get passed along. While wages in Los Angeles would end up higher than in other major production centers like New Orleans, Atlanta and New York, it's too soon to tell just how hard the proposed hike could hit local production.

It ain't too soon, Ted @ Variety, to tell you what's going to happen.  It is basic, simple, pre-school level economics that a 7 year old who runs a lemonade stand could tell you.

Sure would be nice if all states required every union shop to publicly post the salaries/hourly wages plus benefits of each officer in that local. Give the worker bees a clear idea of who they support and at what cost....

They pulled the same crap with Obozocare and got waivers and exemptions.  :cursing:

Good God, it's like the kid playing with matches, every time he lights one, he burns himself, and even though he knows the next one is going to hurt, he lights in anyway.

These idiots know quite well what they're proposing kills business, yet like the moron with the match, can't help themselves, they beg for others to stop them, but like moths to a flame, they too can't help their compulsion and blindly chant the mantra "Hire Wages", knowing in their mind that jobs will be disappearing.

Which only goes to prove the leftist idiots are insane. The fools never think beyond the emotional level, and if it sounds good they run with it. The consequences of their actions never come into play, which we can see by looking at their insane programs like the war on poverty or the war on drugs or any other leftist program. Anyone that can think and get past the emotional level can understand that a high minimum wage will cause unemployment just as increased taxes on good cause higher prices. Morons!

That one still puzzles me to this day. Commonsense even a child could cogitate, yet a lib has to throw out everything they know, in order to convince themselves that what they "Feel" is by far the right thing to do.

"Flame, Meet Lib".

Unintended consequences is a foreign term, to lib/democrats.

They keep forgetting that business can move.  California should have learned that lesson by now, with all the businesses that have left to states that are more friendly to business.

The left refuses to learn anything. They believe that their solutions will actually work, even though history tells them they won't. I think it was HRC that said,during the 2008 election, that if FDR had just thrown more money at his programs to end the depression they would have worked. Never mind that the left has thrown $22 TRILLION at the War on Poverty over the last 50 years, and poverty is worse! They are insane!

It is bizarre. When you think about the million Americans a year that get aborted, they have to let in a bunch of third world kids, to fill the schools.  The teachers' unions can't afford to have any empty schools....they need those teachers working to pay their dues, to pay their union salaries, pensions and get more democrats elected.
