URBAN CORE CALLING: KANSAS CITY FIGHT FOR $15 PHONE BANK FINAL PUSH BEFORE UPCOMING VOTE!!!



Over the past few days and all of this week . . . Kansas City urban core denizens will be making personal calls to garner support for a controversial Kansas City wage hike that contradicts Missouri law.

Recently, Missouri cut back the minimum wage in STL after Jeff City politicos ruled that municipalities can't hike wages without Statewide approval.

And now . . .

Question 3 for the upcoming Kansas City election looms . . . Check the Sample ballot:

Question 3: Shall the City of Kansas City enact now a municipal minimum wage of $10.00 per hour on August 24, 2017, and increased annually by $1.25 per hour beginning September 1, 2019, to reach $15.00 per hour in 2022?

Here's public notice about the latest round of locals dialing for dollars . . .

PHONEBANK FOR $15 WITH US!

Sound the call to action to Kansas City workers! The August 8 election in Kansas City, Missouri, is coming up. This is our chance to vote on a higher minimum wage, a living wage for every worker. But some families don't yet know about the vote.

That's why we are mobilizing to phonebank for $15.
########

While the might be a futile effort from a legislative perspective, a strong showing would bolster upcoming statewide efforts to raise the minimum wage OR opposition and/or week turnout might hurt the cause.

You decide . . .

  1. The push for this is bigger than you think TK.

    Expect KC 60% approval or more.

  2. Why top off at $15 an hour? Why not $20 an hour? $25 an hour? $50 an hour?

    I have no issues with paying ten or eleven per hour for non skilled workers. But for that money I expect the following:
    1. 8:00 means 8:00 not 8:15 or 8:30 four out of five days a week. 8:00 also means you are here and ready to work not just getting there and taking your time clocking in and going to the bathroom, visiting or anything else for that matter but being ready to start working at 8:00.
    2. Sorry hate to hear your Aunt had to go to the doctor but it isn't a reason for you to leave work and go hold your mom's hand.
    3. Your cell phone isn't needed to do your job so leave it in your locker or purse and make sure your family knows that for emergencies only they can leave a message with the receptionist and you will be made aware of the issue.
    4. Your job is the job you decided to accept when you applied for the job not to later decide what you will or not will do while claiming I didn't agree to this type of work when I was hired.
    5. You will come to work clean looking while smelling clean no booze on the breath or the odor of weed rolling off of you.
    6. If you have tattoos all over your face please don't waste my time or yours.
    7. Save the gossiping for your own time and not infringe on other workers doing their job while being model employees because you think they work to much and need to lighten up some.
    8. Calling in sick means you do so before work begins not two hours after your reported time to be at work.
    9. If you need to see a doctor let us know when the appointment was made and not 30 minutes before you have to leave to go to said so called appointment while claiming you don't have to identify said illness but get all nasty claiming a EOE case when I request a doctors order allowing you back to work.
    10. Your two 10 minute paid for breaks and your 30 minute lunch breaks are for you to make or receive a phone call, rest and so forth. Personal phone calls 3 to 4 times an hour will not be tolerated and being out of KoolAid at home isn't an emergency.
    11. Remeber the managers and the owners are the boss not you, do it their way or find the highway and do that your way.

  6. Be careful what you ask for. While one certainly has no objections to people earning a living, keep in mind that - $15/hour minimum wages will translate into higher costs of goods and services. Are you ready to start paying more?

    And don't forget, even people who earn minimum wage are consumers; who buy products and services. You might end up making $15 per hour, but if everything you buy as a result has gone up in price, you may end up not being any better off.

  7. Just get a different job?

  8. Does KC know anything other than hand outs and mooching? Get skills and then you get paid. Have something of value to sell your employer. This ain't rocket science.

  9. 8:16 that would require these gibme folks to have to use their brains and hands for something other than smoking crack and drinking. That may be all they're good for honestly

    12. I expect you to kiss my ass for doing you the favor of offering you employment. Only a Communist would point out that I make more money from your labor than I'm willing to pay you (I have to make a profit, otherwise I should just be working for some asshole like me.) Remember, I am better than you! You will call me Sir & Mister, & I will call you YOU.

  13. B'lieRon Funky^^ with the usual crybabying crapola. "Aaawww, boo hoo. Everything in life is soooo unfair. If y'all gots mo' den me, ya bettuh gibsme."
    Have you any concept of owning and managing a business, Funky? Profit is not a dirty word. It is THE word which sums up the primary motivation for headaching with the very long list of legal, financial, regulatory, and societal obligations from being
    an entrepreneur.

    Very many enterprises cite human resources as the most challenging area for business management. In short, too many Funky types on your payroll will be likely FUBAR!

  17. The KC shit bags are in complete denial over the very credible Seattle study that clearly shows the impact of a city passing a $15.00 minimum wage. The Seattle study demonstrated that employers, cut insurance and benefits, reduced educational opportunities, reduced employee hours, demanded more productivity, cut the number of jobs and in the end almost no one ended up taking home more at teh end of the week. There are reasons why business owners lead business and peons stay peons.

    There are ways to get ahead in this world and if the dregs were actually willing to do ANYTHING to further the quality of their life they might want to get a fucking clue what some of those ways might be. This reminds me of the decades we have spend destroying the black ethnic group by handing them entitlements without expecting folks to do anything to earn them. This is not how you motivate people to contribute to society, advance themselves or be productive. Do we really want to create a new class of white boons?
