Ok, the pay goes up to $15 after 90 days. But still…
Via Daily Caller:
A simple Facebook comment exploded into a big reveal on the hypocrisy of some groups spearheading the fight for a $15 minimum wage.
“It was a paid advertisement that came through on social media,” Cody McLaughlin told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “I thought it was funny so I posted a comment.”
The advertisement was for a job opening at the advocacy group Working America. The group was looking to hire field managers to launch a grassroots effort to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. For his own amusement, McLaughlin asking if it paid $15 an hour.
“Hi Cody! Our field organizing positions start at $12.25 per hour,” Working America replied. The group did note though, “After 90 days of employment the pay increases to $15 per hour.”
Not long after the comment began attracting attention which prompted the group to delete it which McLaughlin felt was when it crossed the line. Though his motivation was to be funny he notes he was open to a serious debate. To him, deleting the comment only served to hurt the dialogue….
