UC Berkeley Touts $15 Minimum Wage Law, Then Fires Hundreds Of Workers After It Passes

 

[Dragonlady]

Except that Berkley had already raised its minimum wage to $15.00 a year before, so saying that Berkley fired 500 workers after it passed is misleading. Berkley didn't fire workers because of the passage of this law, as you suggest. Berkley fired the workers because they were in financial difficulty and facing a budget shortfall.

Which merely proves the damage of this government enforced wage control. The chicken came home to roost, as an Obama mentor once said.

That's right you fool!
Berkley got into financial 'difficulty' and was facing a budget shortfall because they were PAYING THEIR FUCKING EMPLOYEES TOO FUCKING MUCH MONEY!!!!!!!! So they had to raise tuition fees but the economy is so fucking stagnant mommy and daddy couldn't afford to send their stupid 'entitled' brats to Berkeley for four years each to learn how the development of the fucking shoes effected the 'socio-economic culture at the time! So enrollment dropped but the semi-literates serving macaroni salad in the cafeterias still had to get their $15 an hour.
Stupid fucking LIBs!

No it didn't. The firing of the Berkley workers had nothing to do with the passage of the minimum wage bill.

It clearly indicates the results of such a bill.

Typically, you blame the least among us for the budget shortfall. It had nothing to do with a bloated administration, lavish spending on buildings and sports facilities, or tuition freezes imposed by the California legislature on a publicly owned educational institutions.

"It’s a dramatic example of the financial pressures facing even world-class universities as a result of state disinvestment in higher education,” said Terry Hartle, a senior vice president of the American Council on Education. Serious financial issues are inevitable when revenue is constrained and expenses grow, he said. “These places that are among the wonders of the modern world need money to run on.”

Berkeley is facing big budget trouble, ‘painful’ measures ahead for nation’s top public college

As much as conservatives would like to say it's indicative of the results of such a bill, it is nothing of the kind. The budget shortfall and subsequent layoffs are the result of the failure of the State of California to invest in higher education, and years of tuition freezes in the face of rising costs.

Berkley promised not to lay off any faculty or cancel any sports programs as a result of their budget problems, so the only workers left to layoff are the support staff.

There is no co-relation between the budget problems and the increased minimum wage. The budget problems are the result of systemic financial problems within all state owned post-secondary insitituions in California, due to tuition freezes and funding shortfalls going back years.

Of course it might never dawn on rightwingnuts who don't engage in independent thought that correlation is not causation.

Too funny. It's a result of the university overpaying for monkeywork.

Indeed. The ones the Democrats claim to care about. Hysterically funny.

But correlation often indicates a future relation to causation.

2+2 as indicated in reality, not as dictated by the State.

It takes a huge leap to go from a school incurring a budget shortfall of $150 million, to blaming it on the lowest paid workers at the school. That's the kind of leap that dog-whistle conservatives can make, even when the facts prove otherwise.

obviously they do not know how to run a budget

if they are having financial problems and continue to hand out raises

it is not sound judgement

more so if it is an institution of higher learning

...because of the minimum wage increasing costs.
