I didn't see where he claimed that, but we've definitely talked about the lawsuit preceding the raises and the, perhaps cynical, connection.
I do like that the "it's going to fail, it's not sustainable" arguments are now "it's an anecdote and don't apply to the broader market" vs "Huh, I was wrong". I'm also enjoying this is somehow a bad thing because now the gov't will make everyone do it. Don't successfully grow your business while paying your employees more because the gov't might make everyone do it! Which ignores that the gov't is currently using your money to make up for the non-living wages that Wal-mart and others pay.
I now look forward to accusations of socialism and liberalism.
You're a socialist. Happy now?
Suppose Mayor Hogsett proposed that Mr. Price's idea be implemented at the city government level. The available payroll will be equally divided between all employees regardless of job title, qualifications, or experience. Do you think it could be passed?
