Kerry said the President's schedule was 'not set by terrorists'
Shirley, he said the same thing for the POTUS after 9/11. Or maybe nobody asked him then?

This is scandalous. Why would unions fight for a legislated minimum wage when their reason for existence is to increase the wages of their members? They are making themselves obsolete.
The reason is that union members are exempt from the minimum wage. Thus unions are working to decrease the wages of their members.

No more than K Street. Law is power. Better to directly control the law than engage in negotiating a thousand separate contracts. Besides, they don't object to adding several million illegals to the fold which while depressing wages overall, means the leadership keeps the gravy train running to their jobs and pensions. So, they make sure that an artificial floor is created with minimum wage to cover the damage. Which means, that business that can, move to other states or find alternate means to substitute for labor.

California wants the poor people out. After all, they consume the most resources and pay the least taxes. Poor people disproportionately take minimum wage jobs. This change effectively eliminates those jobs. Result is they have to leave the state with their jobs or give up and go on full time public assistance, in which case the state owns them. This is the hard and fast reality of late stage socialist realpolitik.

And now the elite will get to break the law twice - Once for the employment and once for the underpayment. So they'll go to jail twice as long.
But 2x=0. Solve for x, the jail term.

In some states, the Union bosses raise is tied to the wage increase.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
