The Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC) has done a lot to advocate for the $15 minimum wage. It is one of many union-funded groups that has pushed for the policy both locally and nationally. ROC Founder Saru Jayaraman told a small group April 28 in North Carolina that $15 is not enough, and advocates should be looking to go much higher.
“If you are taking into account child care and transportation and everything that people need to live,” Jayaraman said in the video, which was provided to The Daily Caller News Foundation. “You are talking much higher $17, $21. So $15 is not a livable wage and I don’t think anyone, I hope no one is claiming that it is. I wouldn’t think that it is even here in North Carolina.”

$15 was just the start! Didn't people know that??!!
The people that promote this and other similar movements are unfortunately not connected to any ultimate benefit by the individual. They simply want some empty minded individuals to devote some PART of their existing income to them. It's called Union dues". In the end, no change (Stupid!).
If fast food workers should be paid $15 per hour, how much should skilled workers be paid?
a vote for $15 minimum wage is a vote for fewer jobs.
Why can't they see that?
gotta raise the amount unemployment pays em next
Piece of the plan to eliminate small business.
