Cheap groceries are strangely hard to find between endless "organic" grocery stores.After one year, the proposed adjustment would have raised my wages to $13.15, now it is dropping back down to $13. And the COLA resets again.We need stronger language for city/county cost-of-living if the minimum of $13 starting is forced on us. By next year, the minimum wage will be 75 cents less than the contract, by july 2020, the minimum wage will equal the contract.</blockquote>
