Maybe you should try driving sometime. Unless you are afraid to?
What happens if minimum wage goes up?

I drive every day to work.
e/ - I also grew up on a farm and have driven a lot larger and heavier vehicles than a package car.
The only difficult part of being a driver for UPS is the interaction with customers. There is nothing to be afraid of unless you deliver in Houston, Texas.
Hope this helps.

....You'd rather them make less instead of keeping open the opportunity for you to make what they do?
Reminds me of a story about crabs and buckets.

Will the pay disparity be the same as it is now in 25+ years?

It's not really any more than it was 20-25 years ago.

Hold on, Austin, lemme check my crystal ball real quick.....
Lol,
if I know, brutha. What I do know, though, is that it's better to act on something concrete in the present than it is to get anxious over hypothetical upsets in the future.If the server wage + tips do not exceed the federal minimum wage, they must be compensated.

I agree with you, but I have read that employers are now having employees asking for less hours because the raise makes them ineligible for their entitlement benefits, due to their higher earnings.

I did know that people with disabilities get paid and I understand it but not sure I fully agree with, it's a touch subject. As far as waiters and waitresses, I've done and made minimum wage as well as I have fried a that do it and all make minimum wage plus tips. However, they justify tips as a way to never increase wages.

It's on the governments website. I know this because my dad teaches special needs students who transition from high school to the general work force.
If I understand it correctly, it's not as simple as "you have special needs you make half the hourly wage" there is a quite a process to the justification.

No , but this restaurant has found a way to make raising the minimum wage work for the business, employees, and the customer. That's the result when you think outside the box.

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
There are always exceptions.
High school kids and college interns just to name a couple.
Uh, there's no such thing as "maximum wage". The company you work for agrees on an amount to pay you for your work depending on how valuable you are, and at that point, the sky's the limit.
Also, it's not 25 + year drivers making the big bucks, it's anyone who's through progression, so even guys with FOUR years of full time status are making 33.29 an hour!
Come to full time, your wallet will thank you. Don't be afraid of the customers, they don't bite

Low wage for part timers is certainly an issue, but it's funny that this conversation isn't combined with the top scale inequality that full timers experience. The fact that our top scale in California is the same as in Montana will never make sense. So here's a thought, stop wage increases for top scale in low cost states and put those savings towards increasing part time wages in high cost states. Who's behind me.
You can only blame your fellow part timers. They make up a majority of the work force and very few vote. That's why the wage is so low.

I'm a driver going into my 20th peak and it's never made sense to me.
