St. Louis $10 minimum wage will revert back to $7.70 in August, Governor announces | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 48994189 United States 07/09/2017 08:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ST. LOUIS • The minimum wage in St. Louis will revert to $7.70 an hour on Aug. 28, with Gov. Eric Greitens announcing on Friday that he will allow a bill blocking the city’s increase to become law without his signature. When the Legislature sends the governor a bill, he has several options. He can sign it, veto it or take the middle course — without action before a constitutional deadline, the bill automatically takes effect. The bill in question bans local minimum wages, requiring all cities and municipalities in Missouri to stick to the statewide standard. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45925645 $15 is a joke. It wont get these low IQ retards any better opportunity at all. Why should anyone have to go to school just to get paid 10 or 15 dollars an hour? The minimum wage should be so that everyone can still live on it. My first job was 15 dollars an hour and it required no education. Why shouldn't everyone get an opportunity to work for a decent wage to have at least a decent roof over their head and some food? No one has to do back breaking work anymore. We don't live in the 1800s grandpa |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72595623 United States 07/09/2017 09:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The minimum wage should be based on what the corporate profits are. Some small businesses, the owner is barely making $50,000 a year, which isn't shit for a regular worker. If the higher ups are making a million or more, then the low paid workers should make more. It is stupid to make it across the board because it hurts the little guy. |

Sam Walton would not have made the money he did if it weren't for low cost labor. Everyone can't be managers/ owners, you still need labor to have a successful business. Also the reason why many new businesses fail is because if these over sized conglomerates that can't be competed with. |
