Comment on California fast food workers demand another minimum wage increase — four months after $4 raise

  We don’t live in a free market when business cartels can fix wages.

  This is labor competing back with the same methods that capital uses.

  Cry harder.

    Isn’t about labor at all. It’s about the government setting wages.

    Lots of people lost their jobs or hours. It’s weird you like to see them suffer by incompetent government action.

      Do you think labor is the only one lobbying the government regarding wages?

      Wake up.

        Do you always talk in circles ? My statement is accurate. It isn’t free market when the government is mandating.

        Unions are free market.

        Now why you want the workers to cry harder is a weird response. Lots of people lost their jobs over this and you celebrate. Typical liberal.

  It’s mandated by law because the corporations are too large to care to do it themselves and have to be told.

  They’re just worried about making more money this quarter than last quarter. Under that reality, a law becomes necessary. Corporations have clearly shown they won’t pay their workers a decent wage when they don’t have to.
