The AFL is eager to see movement on these promises, especially the pledge to raise the minimum wage in stages from $10.20 to $15 by 2018.
Alberta NDP’s promise of $15 minimum wage wins praise from labour - The Globe and Mail
Oh, so it's still 3 years away! They didn't say that on the news tonight.
Minimum wage destroys jobs for teenagers.

In every business the costs or fixed expenses of operating a business, always comes out of the consumers pocket book.
So it will create inflation, prices go up and and it's all back to normal. Maybe for a spell business will cut costs by not hiring as many people. Which might be good for Alberta.
The government should be pushing education so people don't have to make working at McDonalds a career choice. (Unless your management)
Minimum wage destroys jobs for teenagers.
Two articles complete with stats and sources that support my post claiming that minimum wage kills jobs for teens. Also, very few people over 25 actually work for minimum wage.Even if true thats fine with me. They dont need to work generally. Adults out on their own with bills to pay do.
First of all it was a promise people voted for. Secondly it does not destroy
jobs for teens. People can pay fifteen bucks. I Pay fifteen for employees
regardless of how old they are when I need help on the farm.
This idea we can pay one little group less is an old idea Used to be women
were shafted now its teens eh?
What do you think is the first thing that is going to happen when dishwashers at McDonalds start getting paid $15 an hour?
If Australia is any example, the price of a Big Mac will go down.What do you think is the first thing that is going to happen when dishwashers at McDonalds start getting paid $15 an hour?
When the minimum wage goes to $15 everyone in the $12-15 range is going to expect a raise to around $20 and so it goes on up the scale with inflation soon eating up any gain the lowest paid might have made.
Crack dealers are going to make more money.
The wage what ever it is becomes the norm in a month so if the wage goes to
15 the employers are going to be so mean spirited they take it out on kids.
Kinda showe their true colours eh?
15 is a low wage to start with.
The other problem with minimum wage is there is no correlation with the balance
prices get raised so life goes on,
Old man Trudeau put in a wage price control and that didn't work and why
Because there was no margin of profit control and that wouldn't work either.
We have to find a balance for a living wage and get away from a rock bottom wage
and an outrageous corporate wage and benefit system.
No I am not saying all wages should be the same I am saying we need a ratio balance
between the highest and lowest paid. That is found in society that cares about people
affording the things they need and aspiring to achieve what they want with a logical
means to get there through saving and working hard.
Can't do it? Yes we can actually it happened in society from up until the crisis in the
seventies when everything went to hell in the first place. The system wasn't perfect
but it worked better then than now.
$15 is a low wage for shovelling gravel, but perhaps not so low for someone to answer the phone in certain situations.
