This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

MINIMUM WAGE WHINING IS PREDICTABLE




Today's Waterloo Region Record carries the following article by Martin Regg Cohn titled "Small business needs to manage, not manipulate". He is basically suggesting that some Tim Horton's franchisees are acting out against their staff as much in frustration with their franchise agreements as with the new law. Apparently head office has to approve all price increases and to date they have not done so.

Also of interest though is the recital of a number of recent significant tax breaks given to small businesses which should have eased the financial burden of legislated raises. It seems small businesses get an extraordinarily low rate on the first $500,000 of income compared to small businesses in quebec and compared to larger corporations here in Ontario. That makes a major difference to me in the corporate whining about minimum wage increases. These workers need better and this apparently is one good way to do it.
