Divide & Conquer

$15 Now was not a suggestion.

It was a demand.

Not sometime after 2020 and a review to see if minimum wages need adjusting.

The two capitalist parties played their cards quite well in the last budget. They passed a minimum wage increase and they split NY in two and pitted them against each other.

NYC will get $15 soon. There will be fast increases to get them to $15. In a few years.

NYC is also expensive to live in, so they need $15. Just not yet.

The rest of NYS will be bumped up in $0,70 increments to $12.70 an hour.

Mathematically $12.70 is not $15.

Someone failed basic math back in elementary school.

But then again, upstate isn't as expensive as NYC, so we don't need it?

Hello?

The demand was $15. Now.

That is what we protested for.

Not $12.70.

BTW: When $12.70 is reached, Albany is going to look and see if we need $15 an hour.

This is a perfect ploy to pit upstate against downstate.

Specifically divide the working class against itself.

Divide and conquer.

We the people need to see through the charade and demand $15 Now FOR ALL.
No Upstate-Downstate divide.
