Coal and Steel were all union shops back in the day--they'd never settle for no raise for 12 years even for the guys sweeping the floors. Are only the rich allowed to vote there?
I imagine these days when there is talk of raising the min wage in poorer states, the employed say 'YAY - more money for us!'
But employers tisk, tisk about yes, there will be higher paying jobs, but there will be many fewer of them.
The unemployed just wanna a fucking job - they want ANYTHING that pays more than $0/hr so I can see them being against a high min wage.
