In New Jersey, the minimum wage is $8.38.
NEWARK – As part of a national demonstration, workers part of the Service Employees International Union converged at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday afternoon to rally for a $15-per-hour minimum wage — which is what New York airport workers make, organizers say — and to advocate for fairer working standards, according to numerous reports.
The coalition of workers — made up of workers from airports, fast food restaurants, Uber and taxi companies — started the “civil disobedience” march in Manhattan, then moved down into northern New Jersey to continue the campaign for a $15 wage, dubbed “Fight For 15,” according to Newark Patch.
These folks overplayed their hands…McDonald’s introduced the self-serve portal and the customers are now doing the ordering.
Problem solved.
Refer to Reagan’s handling of the PATCO union in the early 80s….
The rule of economics always prevails.
