Two News Stories For Comparison
I'm sure dickheads like Woodie will cheer the airlines on.

Quote:Airline profits soar to $12.7 billion

Quote:Airlines sue Port of Seattle over minimum wage hike for airport workers

Quote:US. airlines are suing the Port of Seattle to block planned pay increases for airport workers, in the latest legal battle over efforts to better compensate workers in a state with the highest minimum wage in the country.

The Port commission, which runs the Seattle-Tacoma airport, voted in July to hike the wage floor to $11.22 per hour in January 2015 and $13.00 per hour in 2017 for airport employees.

$1.78 raise - over 3 years - and these motherfucking criminal cocksuckers who are raking it in hand over fist with their fucking baggage fees have the balls to sue to stop it.

Time to roll out the guillotines in this country and chop off a few heads.

Seriously?

They're suing over such a ludicrous amount?

What a bunch of wankers.

Hardly wankers, luv. If the airline are forced to pay their workers this huge unjustified rise, then some airline executives might have to swap their rhodium toilet seats for boring old platinum, or (heaven forfend) reduce their number of genuine elephant's foot umbrella stands from 64 to 63.

The horror...the horror....

Hey dummy,

I don't like minimum wages because they hurt real people and not because I want the airlines to make more profit.

I don't care what reason you have for being a fucking idiot, Woodie.

I'm confident in the fact that you are.

Yes, they hurt real RICH people. There's not a CEO/Managing Director on the planet would wouldn't pay his line workers 50c/day if he could get away with it.

Outrageous. Can't have the proles earning a decent wage, you know. Might give them ideas.

Woodie thinks that's fine....although I bet he wouldn't work for that.
