With Support of Just 3 Republicans, House Democrats Pass 'Historic' Raise the Wage Act to Guarantee Workers $15 Minimum Wage

Progressives in Congress were joined by workers, business owners, and labor rights advocates in celebrating the "historic" passage on Thursday of the Raise the Wage Act, aimed at guaranteeing all American workers a minimum wage of $15.

Two hundred thirty House Democrats were joined by only three Republicans—Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Will Hurd of Texas, and Christopher H. Smith of New Jersey—in supporting the Raise the Wage Act (RTWA), which would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025 and end the use of sub-minimum wages for tipped workers.

Idiotic.

If this was done in the private sector, it would be called price fixing.

Long overdue?

You should be embarrassed to be that stupid.

If this gets past the senate, which is unlikely, it would cut the spending power of the middle class nearly in half.

Abort yourself if you have the slightest bit of integrity.

So your working for someone for less than $15.00/hr, and your going to wait until 2025 for a raise to $15.00? Just who is that stupid? Hell its time to stop smoking pot and start looking for a new job!

 

[Staidhup]

To maintain a quality workforce one must adequately compensate their employees, otherwise you become a revolving door. Great if your McDonald’s, Burger Queen, or an illegal immigrant, however one would think a person that actually works would be paid more.

 

[Stormy Daniels]

What's the point? It won't go anywhere in the Senate.

 

[blackhawk]

Can't wait to see how much a Big Mac cost when you have to pay the worker at the drive up window $15.00 dollars an hour.

 

[007]

Even if it did get past the senate, which it won't, the president will never sign it.

Just another BS SJW SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT waste of time.

An artificial minimum wage is a stupid idea.

A national minimum wage in a country with more than 3000 counties all with different cost of living is a historically stupid idea.

Jeff Bezos makes $260 million a day while most of his employees barely make it by on under $30 K a year.

Though Bezos is in fact a douchebag of monumental proportions, I can't fathom what kind of dumbass works for Amazon.

Do you know how hard it is to spend that kind of money?

Can't wait to see how much a Big Mac cost when you have to pay the worker at the drive up window $15.00 dollars an hour.

Worse than that is getting still yet the poor quality of service in which these workers are delivering to the public. I have been to McDonald's at least 6 times in the past 2 months, and everytime they have gotten my order wrong. Kidding me right ? Yet the idiot government body in the house attempts to give these people a raise without any consideration of their job performances ??

So the government intervenes as these people's union officials, and yet the government was never intended to act as a union for workers in this country. The government needs to get out of companies business unless real abuses are found like working illegals to undermine the nation's own working class citizens or finding corruption or corrupting practices in business otherwise (criminal activity).

Starter jobs pay should be set upon training involved, skill sets involved, punctuation involved, character involved, and attitudes involved. The minimum wage usually doesn't last for more than 6 months to a year, and then raises are given based upon the added factors listed above.

When I go to McDonald's it's to get breakfest which is good and the service at the two near me is good as well but the fact remains fast food worker is not a 15 dollar an hour job.
