15 dollar hr min wage order to be signed by biden

[DeshaunWatson]

This should be excellent for trumptard low IQs, since now they can earn more $. I’m sure he did this to satisfy their needs. Win win. Well done Biden.

Most trumptards own businesses and not a corporate slave making $10 an hour serving coffee.

[Jayarbie]

Most people are being paid $15 or more nowadays.



It will impact large chains and corporations more than small biz.

It will only impact federal workers.

[NYPat]

Do we even need Congress anymore? Could save a lot of taxpayer money if we just get rid of them at this point since the President now does, and has been doing their job for years...

It's not "them". It's one person - Moscow Mitch.

All he did under Obama was obstruct and then when the Reps finally had majority in Congress and Rep potus what did they do?..... passed a massive tax break bill for the ultra rich.

That's it.

Now it's back to obstruction while Biden is asking for unity.

[Jayarbie]

Surely Small Businesses that have been hemorrhaging money because of lockdowns and COVID restrictions can afford to pay their employees more money right now.

Surely, small businesses are employing federal workers.

Interesting take. Do you see this potentially having a negative impact on other groups, or is it only who you see as "Trumptards?"

No trolling. I am genuinely interested in your take.

Fuking LOL

[me12inch]

[ApeXXXPredator]

Realistically, how are small businesses supposed to maintain operations when they are being forced to pay a wage that most of them cannot afford to pay?

[JimFromRaleigh1]

This is for federal contractors

[rectifryer]

This will not hurt small business as the people WHO ACTUALLY SPEND are the ones getting increased income.

[metroins]

It will only impact federal workers.

lol thanks

- Globalism instead of America First
- Endless migration
- $15/h minimum wage

I mean, surely this combination won't result in people moving this businesses offshore and paying migrants cash under the table. Surely.

Negging OP then for inaccurate topic and no source.

Thanks for clarifying.

[NuggzTheNinja]

Do you really expect it to stop there? Be honest.

[JimFromRaleigh1]

What kind of federal worker is making less than 15 dollars an hr?

This is for federal contractors. The contractors pay their workers what they want, which is at least the federal/state minimum wage.

This would seem to be something that could actually happen, which is why I'm not sure that the increase would be as great for everyone as some are thinking.

I would be curious to hear more from Googooly on this.

why wouldnt it?

the slippery slope is a logical fallacy brah

trumpers base their entire reality on a fallacy

"Two weeks."

It's not a fallacy - the government is addicted to spending peoples' money. Tech is addicted to controlling your behavior to maximize profits. If there is a way to get MOAR, they will do it. There is nothing fallacious about incrementalism.

[ltsOgre]

They should tie minimum wage to 1970's minimum wage and index that to worker productivity.

[RIKTER]

[Harbinger]

Source? It is a $15
minimum wage for FEDERAL workers...

Federal contractors, not workers. I work for a federal contractor, nobody makes less than $15 an hour, nobody is even hourly for that matter but even broken down it's far more than $15 an hour.

Edit: I'm sure other places are different.

[climberbrah]

Technically my title is correct.

[Tyler2106]

The only thing he can change with an EO is for federal workers. No impact at all on small businesses.

"Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages."

https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage

[deepfat]

Obviously that's just for federal McDonald's and federal Wal-Mart.

"Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages."

https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage

Read the EO

Biden plans to sign an executive order that will expand protections for federal workers, including putting federal agencies on a path to require a $15 minimum wage for contractors.

But that minimum wage won't come right away. Instead, Biden plans to direct the federal government "to start the work that would allow him to issue" an order "within the first 100 days" that would require federal contractors to pay at least $15 per hour, according to the White House.

Lol, trUMPERS cannot read


Errrrr merrr gerrr muh small biz

[Tyler2106]

Raising the Federal minimum wage hurts small businesses and benefits big corporations. This isn't anything new from Democrats. Raise the min wage to $15 in small town USA where cost of living isn't high and I guarantee there are more negatives than positives that come from this.

Democrats either both detached from society they have no idea what they're doing and hate small businesses.

[Jayarbie]

Do you really expect it to stop there? Be honest.

Yes, because a federal minimum wage increase that affects all businesses covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act needs to pass Congress, which it won't.

[Jayarbie]

"Many states also have minimum wage laws. In cases where an employee is subject to both the state and federal minimum wage laws, the employee is entitled to the higher of the two minimum wages."

https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage

They didn't change the law. The law is the Fair Labor Standards Act. That would need to pass through Congress. The EO can only cover federal employees and contractors.
