Not sure how part time vs full time plays into the issue since the wage is across the board.
Yes, but the original argument had to do with workers comp and other benefit costs, which is determined by hours worked.

No they make $7.25/hr minimum. Owners not making up the difference if tips are low that day, are commuting wage theft. Which should be a felony and lead to lose of licensure.
If we are already paying a living wage why do people have to work multiple jobs and use government assistance to get by?
If the owner is now on the hook for the entire minimum rather than just the difference between what is earned from the minimum and tips you just increased their labor costs 340%.
My state is 100 percent too stupid to ever do the right thing. Other than the 2020 election and runoff.
Sorry, I was not clear. I do not think we are currently paying a living wage. My premise is that if the goal is to pay a living wage there is nuance in what that means.
That's essentially what we have right now with the state setting their own minimum wages and you don't see that happening.
The minimum wage is already different across states, and shockingly, large business still seem to be able to operate in California.
I don't think you'll find anybody argue that the cost of living varies in different parts of the country.
However states (especially those with Republican legislatures) keep dragging their feet in supporting their workers, so if they don't actually do their fucking job then the federal government has to come in and use a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel.
That’s alarmist language intended to ignore the actual math. We are talking about raising salaries up to $15,000 a year. Somewhere up the organizational chart, it’s not hard to find that $15,000 especially when they can plan five years ahead.Labor costs doubling over a five year period is bad for any business.
Again, raising the minimum wage is not a dollar for dollar increase for business owners. I don't know enough about the ramifications to get into details, but I do know that my mother, who is in her 60s, works about 80 hours a week between prep, cleaning, catering, and actual business hours, and she certainly doesn't make $15 an hour. Part of that is because she takes on too much of the work herself, but also, no one in East Bumfuck,SC is going to pay $18 for a sandwich.
I think that the minimum wage absolutely needs to be raised, and people shouldn't have to work two jobs just to barely keep above water. But I also think that this could cause problems for small individually owned businesses that can't absorb the cost as much as larger chains.

If their parent(s) earns livable wage then their livable wage is $0.
i noticed that too - she's taking lots of meetings with foreign HOS. they are going to put a lot of pressure on him to say one way or another by next year's midterms. has a sitting president ever *not* run for reelection when eligible?
also if he passes the torch, would someone come out of the wordwork and primary Harris? Beto / AOC / 100 year old Bernie, etc.?
