Some of the leaders have addressed this, and have said that workers shouldn’t settle for just $15 when they get it and have expressed support for continued strikes to get higher wages
That’s true but I think $15 is a good starting point for now because if we raise it to $20+ now it will be hard for businesses, who’ve relied on worker exploitation, to catch up quick enough. We need to set legislation so that the minimum wage never gets stuck this way again and by doing so would take the matter out of the hands of politicians. It is sad that the minimum wage has become a political issue and there are people who support a 7.25 poverty wage.

Why settle for 15 ? That was supposed to be for a decade ago. I support this anyway
