3:17Now PlayingEzra Levant of TheRebel.media reports:
Raising the minimum wage is all the rage in left-wing jurisdictions. Alberta is going to do it, when companies are already laying off workers. So why would you make it more expensive to hire someone?
Easy: Because Alberta's NDP government is the policy arm of big unions. For the left, the main purpose of a higher minimum wage is not to raise the wage of low-income workers. Precisely the opposite: its main purpose is to ban low-income workers, because they’re competitors to high-cost labour unions.
Anyways, on April 1st, Seattle introduced its $15 dollar minimum wage. Watch my report to find out what happened next.
