Kingsbury's strategy here is to give a very relatable beginning and allow the reader to be included in the broad opening of this article. The lead is kind of a joking imagination piece that once you start reading you can imagine for yourself the dishwasher, maybe even one you have actually seen. The lead serves as a total gateway into the readers mind as a way to start thinking in the same direction as the author.
The related trends are laws being passed to regulate and to make sure dish workers, or anyone who does a low class job, are getting paid what is due for them.
The dismissed idea is that making the wages higher would make the job numbers even lower. She easily dismisses it by whipping out statistics.
If you raise the wages, it will greatly impact the income inequality.
Hours are rough and depend on tips alone to make minimum wage. ad that's only for the people who are allowed to take tips.
Adjusting some policies, the nation could sharply benefit with he raised number f middle class citizens. Consumers can question the treatment of the people working in the place of food. It's an uncomfortable question, but more and more people need to be asking it.
Tipped minimum wage is when a person only makes minimum wage when are tipped an average every hour. That is totally a loop hole in the system, but it was made by the system in the firt place.
Tips fuel the workers and if they work harder and longer, they will get paid more. It's an instant money in there pocket deal which tricks the server into thinking they are getting paid more.
It's really just cheating the servers. and it's also hurting the buisness.
A lot of lower class workers are immigrants and don't speak enough English to know that they have rights.
The personal recount of that man is that it actually makes this all real. That it isn't just a number, it's real people who are just trying to provide for their real families.
Restaurant routinely violate the law by not regulating the laws of minimum wage.
About 15 people every payday at every restaurant, are victims of wag theft.
Bringing attention to the people who are stolen from everyday. Bring the people and the families that are affected by the theft.

2. No. The related trends are growth in the restaurant industry and the widening income gap.
ReplyDelete3. What statistic does she whip out? California where a wage increase was actually followed by an increase in jobs.
4. Yes it will improve the income gap but she offered three other reasons in the same section of the editorial.
5. You don't include the stats she uses to document the poverty level of these workers. Your answer is logical but not what I asked.
6. What about lawmakers? That's the second part of the question.
7. You describe tipped minimum wage but don't explain the NRA's role in making that national policy.
8/9. You kind of skip these two questions in this answer.
12. It is not the restaurants owners' job to regulate. That's up to the government. But the owners don't pay overtime, follow child labor laws. Sometimes, they don't pay for hours worked at all.
13. This answer misrepresents the article, I'm afraid.
14. This is not what she says the mayor should do.
15. How does it end exactly? Why do you think this is ineffective?
