Ruben Navarrette of the Washington Post wrote a piece published in our local paper on the 5th, saying the a raise in the minimum wage was good for all. He used statements from a union lawyer as his only star 'expert'. It got me all riled up and I responded to Ruben directly and to the paper for a rebuttal. You may be interested and have a thought to add.

Negotiate for that wage.
Too big of a vote acquistion, union support and monies for re-elections. They win, we lose.
