Nice regression Nebraska, at a time when everything is already too expensive and young people have a small chance to ever buy a house.
If they don’t want teens working and they don’t want immigrants in the country at all, who is left to do the actual hard work? Let the Nebraska legislature fill in.
Sen. Jared Storm put it this way.
“A minimum wage increase is essentially a tax on small businesses," he said.
What a gaping asshole
Well, hopefully all of those teen workers that are taking a pay cut as a result of this correctly understand that this also represents a decrease in the amount of effort they should give.
Lowering pay for teen workers has the knock-on effect of lowering teen participation in the workforce (at least in Nebraska). I had a friend while I was living in Texas who actually took a summer job in Wisconsin at the prompting of his dad. While I was earning $10/hr doing bullshit retail work, he picked up $25/hr plus benefits at a unionized factory job just outside Madison.
I’m a Republican who LOVES Protecting the Children by
Going after Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends!Making schools SAFE!Abolishing Organizations that KIDNAP CHILDREN and take them to Death Camps!Kicking PEDOPHILES out of My Party!Lowering kid’s Pay!I thought age discrimination was not allowed? I guess they assume a bunch of teenagers, many of whom are parents themselves, will be too broke to fight it in court.
Because old fucks make our laws age discrimination only applies towards those in their age group. Everyone else just gets to go fuck themselves.
Is it illegal? I worked a summer job as a 17 year old and everyone less than 18 got payed slightly less than anyone 18+. This was in Michigan.
No no, age discrimination is only disallowed if you’re old and incompetent. If you’re young you’re just a dumb inexperienced kid who isn’t worth paying a living wage to.
Unfortunately this is true: https://www.eeoc.gov/age-discrimination
Does that mean they get an automatic raise when they reach the correct age? I feel like my high school boss would just fire anyone who crosses the threshold and bring in a younger replacement.
I’m sure that’s the idea
First, they came for the teenagers…
You know what would have prevented this? Higher pay for the Unicam. The 1k/mo salary Legislators get only encourage those who have a primary passive income with nothing to do to set our laws in this state.
