Companies that pay $7 - $9/hr are going to have to do one of two things to deal with a minimum wage increase: 1) Fire/timesize workers 2) Raise prices Guess which one the businesses are going to choose. Its not going to have the effect they believe it will. Illinois is in the middle of a death kneel, and this will only hasten it. |
The hilarious thing is last 2 companies I work for (little caesars and target) always went over alloted hours. Pinching them that much more to reduce hours will have drastic effects on work. My target had bare minimum of workers on the sales floor (1 during weeknights) that reducing hours wont have any effect because that one person will need to be working no matter what. The trucks needed to get unloaded and stocked no matter what. Little caesars was in worse shape. My store was only suppose to have 150 hours per week but 2 people were suppose to be scheduled at all times which meant at least 170 hours a week were used and 2 people can't handle the diner rush themselves so it was more like 240hours used a week.
