Its purely about control. More socialist/ communist ideologies being forced on business. If the city does this board it wont end well for the business or the employees.
Keep on piling more rules and regulations for businesses to follow is not a good idea! A business is about making money only, not to run through hoops for city politicians.
The point is to make sure workers are treated with dignity, respect and not exploited to the breaking point. People in America need to understand the working class in the U.S. is exploited like no other workforce in the developed world. This sort of thing isn't some radical idea. It's a very basic thing that many other countries do and because of such labor friendly policies, their overall standard of living increases. Business owners do not have a right to exploit workers by over working and under paying them just so they can pocket all the profits the worker's labor creates. Things like this are how you create a better, stronger society. They're not going to put some absurd standards onto businesses to where they cannot operate. That should be obvious because the point is to help protect workers. Running businesses into the ground doesn't help workers because it's jobs they rely on. Obviously worker's don't want to run their own jobs out of town. But what they shouldn't do is tolerate what worker's have been tolerating for far too long in this country. This is long overdue and needs to be a nationwide thing.
I think the main point of contrast is not supporting workers, which is not controversial, but instead your assumption that the city council "isn't going to put some absurd standards onto businesses to where they cannot operate." Look at its track record over recent years. It seems to specialize in killing businesses.
The problem with labor unions is that they attract narcissists to the top. People interested in the power they can gain instead of maximizing the workers interests.
@@davidwagner9644that is a really presumptuous statement. You’re assuming that people have the financial freedom to leave a job they hate, when most people don’t. For example, I HATE my paper mill job with a passion, but I can’t afford to leave it because it pays far more money than other jobs I have been able to get (and keep in mind that I am a Macalester graduate). If I were to leave this job, my next job would almost certainly pay substantially less money, and I would not be able to pay for my apartment anymore. just because you have the legal right to leave your job doesn’t mean you have the practical ability to. If you are part of the capitalist class, you can just live off of dividends and bonds, regardless of whether you “earned” that wealth in the first place. But most people don’t have that option.
The city Council does not have a great track record. I wouldn’t trust them to run a lemonade stand.
The city council changes with every election that comes, how about you more than two brain cells together and stop boot licking the rich
How do you say lets drive out local businesses without saying it?
The City Council is incapable of making even one decision to improve Minneapolis.
If you let the city tell you how to run your business, the next thing is they going to tell you how to cook your own food in your own business.
Minneapolis is in self destruct mode.
Sounds like something authoritarian
Totally authoritarian.
You get what you vote for.
yes
Another board to study the issue.....
Why would you open any business in Minneapolis or St Paul. The city runs your business and takes 50% of you profits.

Just Another Democrat failure waiting to happen!
Not one word of what this board is supposed to do

Good for these businesses. Keep standing up for yourself. Less government interference.
The Minneapolis Labor Standards Board members have never ran a business. If pass, businesses will move out of Minneapolis!

All work is consensual. You are not an indentured servant. You can move to a better job of you want.
