Not surprised at all. They have no pressure to raise the wage. Nobody is going to push that agenda now. I guess they'll be happy with 12.00 and like it. And even that may take 5 years. So glad I am opening my eyes. They've been closed for 30 years.

Who else saw the guy at the end of the table at 1:30??

He goes to raise his hand but looks down the table at someone and slowly lowers his hand. Something tells me he's getting directed on how to vote, this is total crap!
