(June 30, 2013 at 9:06 am)festive1 Wrote: So the DC City Council passed preliminary legislation requiring employers who gross more than $1 billion and have a store larger than 75,000 square feet, to pay their workers a "super-minimum wage" of $12.50, vs. the regular minimum wage of $8.25. This does effect other stores in DC, but there is an exemption for Union shops.

To me this is just a crazy law. How does it make sense that a smaller business is allowed to pay shittier wages? Why is it worse for a huge company to pay shitty wages, or a unionized company to pay shittier wages. The only explanation is that some union has a really good lobby.
