What a weird stance. A minimum wage guarantees all citizens can live a life in basic dignity. A worker is, even if part of a union, still a citizen of a state. A state is the sum of its constituents. There is, beyond the bipartisan war, room for compromise and mutual understanding for the benefit of all.

A minimum wage only guarantees that all citizens can race towards a collective bottom determined by some easily bribable elites.

Companies do not have to do a conscious effort to determine the lowest amount they can go. "Everyone else pays that rate too"

But absent the rule, they would - and did - reliably go lower.
