They will match it of course.
Pretty bad when the government steps in to take care of part-timers when UPS and Teamsters will not.

They will increase the starting wage to comply and the fuel surcharge to pay for it.

As others have said they will match it but they will also increase the workload of the people already employed and those that they hire.

NY is on the first step of the process to raise their minimum wage to $15/hr by 2020. As of the first of this year it is at $9.90/hr.
There was an article in today's paper discussing the pros and cons. A local chain restaurant owner stated that any raise in the minimum wage would have to offset by a raise in menu prices. His already thin margins would be even thinner.

Does anyone else feel like if this passes, it makes our contract look even weaker? 15$ an hour to flip burgers or burn fries, 35$ to bust your hump. Just curious.

Most of these proposals are incremental and will reach top rate after our contract has expired. I do think that this will have an impact on the negotiations and may lead to a two-tiered wage and/or longer progression for new drivers.

That's not what I was inferring. It does devalue my wage though. I think they used to call this communism somewhere in the 80's!
How much Taylor ham can I get for $15 bucks?

Well, if the guy that puts it on the shelf and the girl that ring it get 15$ each..... About 10 slices?
That's an expensive Sammy.
