I’m a skilled worker at a tiny business that would collapse without me and I hate it here. I make $30/hr, full time, and the company refuses to give me health insurance.
In the event (extremely unlikely, let’s face it, this country is hell) such a bill passed, I would leave this hole THAT DAY with joy in my heart and absolutely NO notice.
Alternative for you, stay on keep coming in but stop working, actually spend that time at work applying to new jobs. Do this until you are confronted. Then tell them you need your pay doubled to continue working. They will probably fire you but you will get paid time for all of your job applications and a chance to fuck with the owner. 🤷
I think you’re getting the point a lot of Americans miss. Raising the minimum wage helps everybody and gives you the freedom to leave a job you hate. It also gives you more bargaining power. If you can leave your job for a minimum wage job and your take home pay barely changes, they’re gonna have to figure out a way to pay you more to keep you

I don’t know if I’ll do that, but knowing someone thinks I’m worth something is appreciated. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
Thanks Comrade! regardless of what you do, I hope your work situation improves for you. Enjoy your weekend🙂
