It's hilarious that the Republicans on this board think that having no government mandated min wage is going to magically bring wages and living standards up. But yeah it's ok to have a union demand higher wages and benefits. UPS got that fat contract but union members look the other way when it comes to layoffs and cuts as a result of that fat contract. 🤣
Yeah, the layoffs are because of the fat contract, Her dur. Republicans. Hur dur I’m a fake wannabe gangster rapper.. crawl back in your hole. Oh wait, that’s right I’m not a Republican and you’re not an inner-city gangster rapper are you tough guy? @MAKAVELI ? More like small and smelly.

That's the mindset of today's MAGA conservative for you. Any legislation that provides benefit and improves the quality of life for a MAGA....that in the mind of a MAGA is good legislation, good for them and therefore good for the nation as a whole. Now any legislation that for one reason or another fails to benefit a MAGA is bad policy and not good for the nation.

And so I've doomed the working glass huh? Just what have I done? And BTW just exactly where in the private sector has your union been lately?

Well let me remind you of the conversation and I told you this before I had with my state's AFL-CIO president. I jumped on him about the fact that the union's have a very strong presence in my state's public employee sector but a near non presence in the private sector.

Pressing him for an answer he finally had the come out it admit it.....The reason you don't see them is because today private sector employers have far more numerous and effective countermeasures including legal measures such as lawsuits and injunctions that could cost labor unions a ton of money, money they may not have and given that nationwide only 12 % of all workers are represented by a union it's easy to be why unions today are hesitant.

Remember the California minimum wage law is state legislation only. The legislation that provided protections to you and your union is federal legislation.

So the real question is.....why did this group of workers have to seek the help and protection of the California legislature in order to gain some relief from their impossible to live on wages?

The answer is simple. Your no longer powerful labor unions were nowhere to be seen.... And that is NOT my fault.
I don’t even know what that says because I’m not reading it. I read the first line and you couldn’t be more wrong, so why should I go on reading your drivel from a pointless self-important, narcissist, such as yourself?

Half a scab, never a union member, always groveling for scraps. Total joke. We’re supposed to take advice from him. Lol

So the government gets involved. The restaurants will have to raise prices to cover the additional costs. And/or automate as much as possible to keep prices competitive and low enough to keep customers. Which will cost jobs. You always applaud government intervention but as usual the government makes matters worse. When someone loses their fast-food job, and can't find another because companies are trying to survive these government mandates, do you think that person will be thrilled with the $20hr pay raise?
Artificial intelligence will render many low skill jobs unnecessary regardless of how low low skill job wages go. You live in California and you don't want to pay somebody a living wage to do jobs that positively impacts the quality of your life.....STAY HOME...Cook your own meals.

Kind of like what no intelligence has done for you?

These people can't live on 20 an hour in that ridiculous high cost state anyways.

The purpose is just to make lefties feel better about themselves. It's just silly political crap that Democrats fall for.

Yep, an unimportant nobody and always will be. I hope he enjoys himself.. if I wanted to be broke and live in the ghetto, I would ask for his advice.
Answer the question? What have I in your previous post done to harm the working class?....ANSWER THE QUESTION.

My question is why do your unions have a near non presence in the food and hospitality industry? ANSWER THE QUESTION!

I told you earlier why I believe that it has a near non presence in food and hospitality industry. And confirmation was provided by my state's AFL-CIO president.... Let's see what you've got aside from more personal attacks.

The volume slump might have been something Teamsters and UPS either didn't see coming or they saw it coming and it's worse than they thought it would be.

They have a near non-presence because people don’t stay in those jobs very long because they’re throwaway job. And California passing this law helps ensure that.

No,w don’t you have some meeting to go to? Where you’re going to meet some super important person in government and get on your knees and do what you do best?

The volume slump is no better or no worse than it ever is. Covid volume made people think differently for a while Historically this time of year has always been slow and now the companies decades in the making plan to modernize and get rid of very small older facilities is coming together. I’ve already been at one of their modern supposed automated hubs for many years now. Thousands of Teamster jobs just different jobs than there were before.

That was Thursday. And FYI the state rep and we are not of the same party said to me.....I commend and thank you for coming here with specifics, numbers and details". That's why I don't give a flying facial fornication about what you think.

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the reason they don't stay long is because they can't make a living doing that type of work?
So answer this question; Should they not be able to earn a decent wage during the time they are there? If they did then perhaps they might be able to stay longer.
