[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 557731, member: 18044"] Regarding the Minimum Wage . . . The Federal Minimum Wage is due to increase to $7.25 per hour in three weeks. About 19 States [U]already[/U] have State Minimum Wages at $7.25 or higher. Maybe they will go even higher on or after July 24th. The Federal Minimum Wage applies nationwide, but an employee will get the State Minimum Wage if the State Wage is higher. Currently, Calif. Conn. Ill. and Mass. are at $8.00. Vermont is $8.06, Oregon is $8.40 and Washington is $8.55!!! Yet UPS and the Teamsters start part-timers at $8.50!!! And remember, those part-timers have dues and initiation fee deducted from their check so they are really making that much less. And only get 17.5 hours a week or so. The $8.50 Part-time Starting Wage is due to stay the same until the Contract expires July 31, 2013. Imagine how much State and Federal Minimum Wage Laws will exceed $8.50 by then. [/QUOTE]
