Deal reached to boost California's minimum wage to $15, avoiding ballot box battle

Lawmakers and labor unions have struck a tentative deal to raise the statewide minimum wage to $10.50 an hour next year and then gradually to $15, averting a costly political campaign this fall and possibly putting California at the forefront of a national movement.

As always, CA out front in national trends, while slave, red states remain retrograde, low-wage, low-info, anti-labor, right-to-work-for-less.

California will simply lose more union jobs to nonunion jobs in Texas.

Oh well...

[CosmicCowboy]

Actually, there are very few employers in Texas paying minimum wage. Most are a couple of dollars more at least. The ones actually working for minimum wage are the absolute dregs and the employers get what little they pay for.

Any (TX) company paying under $10/hour is HAPPY to pay poverty wages because their ty business plan depends on paying poverty wages.

Yep, Repug/red/slave state TX is definitely pro-business and, by definition, anti-labor. And TX laborers, as in all Repug states, keep voting to screw themselves OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

And yet California is broke. Imagine that.

Yeah if they don't reform gov employees pensions this place I call home is royally ed.

yep, govts and BigCorp can break contracts with citizens with impunity, but let a citizen try to escape a contract, and the financial/legal/police-state will harass him for decades, including jail.

What complaints are there from the residence, that are greater than any other state?

It is already ed.

That's the problem, the pro-business-at-all-costs-to-citizens-and-environment capitalists have convinced labor that labor's decline is unchallengeable, inevitable, so you sheeple laborers shut up while we capitalists screw you even more.

If you sheeple labor are really pissed, we capitalists convince you the problem is abortion, Muslims, the knitters, War on Christmas, immigrants, lack of Christians' freedom to screw non-Christians, feminazis, sensible gun laws, etc, etc.

iow, your problems, bitterness, anger, your inability to get and/or stay ahead, to retire in non-poverty, is NOT DUE TO US CAPITALISTS ING YOU OVER for decades.

We capitalists at you sheeple labor every ing day as we drain your wealth.

[Wild Cobra]

No, my problem is ignorant asses like you. Our biggest problem with wages are from things like allowing illegal immigrants and supporting global free trade. The supply and demand of wages are on the side of low wages with what we have done to ourselves as a nation.

What happens to the person making $16 an hour and then you have a 18 year old just hired will make only a dollar less.

Weird system.

All wages get pushed up along with OT threshold to $75K

+1

Businesses would close left and right having to bump not only their min. wage earners to $15 yr but their top-level wage earners to an amount proportional "enough" to it. The $15/hr min. wage is waaaaay to high. It should be $10.

Greed works both ways. A bunch of hamburger flippers making $15/hr is about as ed up greed-wise as the current state of corporate greed.

You think it's going to stop at $75k?

LOL...

Now with "all wages getting push up to $75k," how is that going to affect inflation... You know... the prices of goods and services?

Will it really benefit anyone when in making more money, they now pay more because of the inflation forced into the system?

[boutons_deux]

OT threshold at $75K, not minimum or all wages. If you make less that $75K, then you get paid 1.5x, and 2x on non-weekdays.

[boutons_deux]

You People have been so brainwashed by BigCorp/VRWC/1% that you think someone working 40+ hours and still in poverty and needing taxpayer assistance is OK.

You've been fed in the War on Labor for 40 years, and you eat it with relish.

Boo, if you want a raise get off the ing internet and work harder.

I'd like more, who doesn't (the wealthy NEVER have enough) but I make plenty thanks, and GFY.

Yep.

Better yourself Boo...

Don't expect us to subsidize you.

So you rightwingnut assholes don't have a position, other than ALL THE POOR (of any color, most being white) and go along with being raped by the 1%/BigCorp, with letting businesses screw employees.

Paul Ryan is still a grifter: The GOP has become a tax-avoidance scam for the 1 percent

GOP's propaganda campaign to end estate tax proves it's a cleverly disguised grifting operation for the rich

And you rightwingnut STers fall for the Repug propaganda every time: enable/enrich/protect the rich, and ignore, if not screw, everybody else.
