RAISE MINIMUM WAGE-TRAINESS WILL NOW 'PAY' FOR TRAINING

Garcetti and all who support raising minimum wage do not address the inpact of the cost of training new employees. Imagine adding overtime to $20.25 on top of that and then waiting at least a year to begin getting back investment. Not possible without government subsidy for small business. 
In our trade, locksmith and security, most of our competition alreay break the law by mis classfying employees as independent contractors and get away with it because there is no money for oversight.
Once again, the ethical business will be hurt along with you, the consumer, who will pay higher prices and negate the benefit of higher minimum wages.
One day there will be no trades, no expertise and only one person mobile trucks without the range of knowledge and product.
How about we start another trade school where the trainee 'pays us" tuition and gives up a paid
Trainee job?

Protecting what you most value,
Vikki
