I've mentioned before, your grocery stores cannot pay baggers $15 an hour. McDonald's won't either for burger flippers (they will go kiosk), along with your small floral shops or corner Liquor stores without cutting staff. They can't afford it. Also unions would lose bargaining power on contracts with large retailers. They will say take a hike.
During NBC’s Inauguration coverage on Wednesday, incoming Senate Budget Committee Chair Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that if he can’t get a filibuster-proof majority in support of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, “we’re going to put it into a reconciliation bill.”
Sanders said, “Look, for example, we have talked about raising the minimum wage in this country to a living wage of $15 an hour for years now. And I intend to do everything I can to make that happen. I would love to have ten Republicans supporting that legislation. If not, we’re going to put it into a reconciliation bill.”
