  5.  

     

    I do not spend my time studying buisiness, social and political philosophy or feel a need set others straight through stubourn debate and posturing. I focus on my job, my family, paying attention and voting my conscience and good tunes.

     

    Well, there's your problem, right there!   :lol:  

     

    Sad, innit?

     

    well i aint givin up the tunes thats for sure!

  6. I work for a smallish company and I dont see how we can lump bigger wealthier companies in the same conversation regarding minimum wage at $15. I have several technicians that work for me in the $14-$20 range based on time in the department. I hire from within our company 99% of the time, People apply and are chosen based on attendance, work ethic and abilities etc... They primarily come from the production team of mostly young folks hired to run a line and basically watch over their machine. Ther job is important but how can we start them out at $15 without a drastic pay scale adjustment to the more technical jobs as well as foreman and supervisors. Certainly morale will suffer within my team and others based on percieved lack of regard for work knowledge, skills and dedication to move forward in the company. Incentive may suffer for people to move up into more challenging jobs. How do people ramain motivated and how does a not so big company keep things equitible and morale manageable. As I said in an earlier post a failed buisiness employs no man. Everything we have done through lean principals, people taking ownership and pride in the company, reward through opportunity in edjucation and promotion for hard work and dedication will be comprimised by such a huge minimum wage jump even if its over 3-4 years. There are many more things to consider here for people to be happy at their place of work besides starting pay. A sense of belonging and opportunity in a healthy work environment among others. a modest wage hike may be in line but we cant just hand things to people to walk in the door. Larger companies may have the resources and money to deal with a $15 min wage but i would say ones like mine and smaller will struggle and possible faulter from it particularly in this economy. No $15 minimum wage please. No need to respond to this telling me why im wrong, this is all just my opinion based on my experiences and work within a company structure. I do not spend my time studying buisiness, social and political philosophy or feel a need set others straight through stubourn debate and posturing. I focus on my job, my family, paying attention and voting my conscience and good tunes. :)

  7. You just don't accept that the ultimate driver is EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY.

    You don't understand that in the business world, where profit is the motive/goal, EFFICIENCY means "cost," and PRODUCTIVITY means produce more at less cost. It is not as EFFICIENT to spend $15 an hour on labor when you can EFFICIENTLY spend $7.50.

    Exactly, the margin has to be there or why bother having a business for profit. At our place of work we are always looking at metrics and labor is a part of that. Efficiency would dictate making something quickly, cheaply with no waste and at the highest quality possible to be accepted in the market place, along with labor cost and benefits to attract and keep good employees engaged at their jobs over time. There are federal and state requirements and regulations as well as raw material costs, safety, development costs, marketing, sales, and shipping. A competitive edge must be maintained within the margin of profit as well particularly in these times. We all serve someone or something to earn money in this world so lets stop the silly servant and slavery comments. If you're work place does not treat you right, pay you right or you feel like a slave there, move on.

    I think you misunderstood the post you are commenting to. Naturally, it's efficient to pay less ( I highlighted it in red). No one pays $15 if they can just as well pay $7. That's not being argued here at all. DUH.

    What's being argued is a minimum wage by law. A part of the regulatory aspect of the economy. Just as we grant economic monopolies, and grant guaranteed pricing and profits to certain companies, we also grant certain minimums to wages. Each has a purpose which is unique, but fits into the economic whole of the nation. We try to balance the interests of all. Like it or not, what we have is a highly regulated economy. So, whatever proposals you offer have to fit within that reality. This isn't an Ayn Rand novel, it's real life.

    Q: Do you oppose all regulations, or just the ones that benefit labor?

    Q: Since I stated the economic benefit of increasing the minimum wage very clearly above, do you have a better economic proposal, or reason for not raising the minimum wage?

    duh really? lol, I'll overlook that because of you're obvious insulting, condescending nature as shown in most any thread you participate in. . YOU are really gonna accuse me of getting off track in this thread??? now that funny coming from you. My posts are comments on the matter from my perspective even if I don't chose to share my definitive "vote" on the matter directly. I would possibly support a moderate minimum wage increase but there are many other things like tax reform etc. that should be addressed first. I am all for more money in the working mans pocket but it must go hand in hand with a good healthy business climate. A failed business employs no man. How about a junior wage for young people to get a foot in the work place, or would that be servitude? and by the way I do not see in my community that older folks are taking the fast food jobs etc. just yet. It is still mostly young folks around here and they certainly are not ghosts to me or any of us less astute dopes that you look down you nose at.
