How long do you think it will be before they are all replaced by robots? The NY state wage board may as well have raised the minimum wage to one hundred dollars an hour for all the good this wage hike will truly do the NYC fast food workers.
New York made shockwaves on Wednesday when a specially-convened state wage board called for a hike in the minimum pay for fast food workers to $15 an hour. Assuming it’s approved by Gov. Andrew Cuomo --and no signs suggest otherwise-- the new rate will be, at once, a jaw-dropping victory for labor activists, a rare political setback for name-brand restaurant chains, and the latest piece of fodder for a national debate about the value of fair pay. It also can’t come soon enough for David Ramirez.
