Liberal UC Berkeley Claims Exemption From Higher Minimum Wage

#5  There’s another trend sweeping the Higher Education cartels – outsourcing. Increasingly, unskilled positions such Janitors and Food services are being contracted out. The University muckitey-mucks are quick to assign culpability to diminishing “revenue sources”. Closer examination reveals that when the brightest (liberal) minds are tasked with managing budgets, things like Tenure tend to take precedent over the plight of the working man. It's a simple remedy really. Just shift the bill (and the blame) on the private sector and continue on with your sanctimony.

That's what communism does.

#1  The usual liberal hypocrisy. Many activists (mostly students) on campuses are calling for a "living wage" for blue-collar employees. The living wage differs from the minimum wage in that the latter is set by law and can fail to meet the requirements to have a basic quality of life and leaves the family to rely on government programs for additional income. wiki Living wage and minimum wages are somewhat ambiguous term. Contrast the recent McDonald's employees protest for a $15/hr minimum wage.

What ever happened to low paying jobs as an incentive? Workers who were not satisfied could:

1. Take a second job,
2. Work their way up the ladder,
3. Get more training/education to better themselves and make themselves more competitive in the job market,
4. Change jobs that better reflects their skills and interests.

ObamaCare has actually acted as a disincentive for some of the above options mentioned.
