raising the wage will help them attract seasonal employees, this year might be harder for them to attract them without a higher wage.

this might take some heat off the working conditions but i doubt sanders is going to just let up. wages was one part of the issue, we would be foolish to back off now.

of course a company is about its bottom line.

companies will always pay as little as they need to. 7.25 is insanely low but without a push it wont be raised. amazon going from around 11 to 15 is still a big win. for sure those employees will be better off.

the fight is not over but i am surprised they reacted so quickly. other companies had already announced intentions to increase their minimum wage to 15 but in a couple of years.

im definitely expecting other large companies to follow suit as minimum to compete for labor. that was part of the goal right?
