Retailing 14th Street
This blog is part of "Retailing 14th Street," a public art project by the Common Threads Art Collective (CTAC). We are retail workers and artistic allies of the Retail Action Project. "Retailing 14th Street."
Presented by Art in Odd Places 2009: SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary, and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.
Contact CTAC at commonthreadsart@gmail.com for more information.
When most places fire employees, a retailer that hire them should be thanked for, not attacked.
ReplyDeleteMost NY retailers hire lots of part time, in between jobs etc. employees, and will not survive if offered more than the minimum wage.
Minimum wage is not for the working adult that support his family, but for a young person that starts his first jobs, and would not have one without the minimum wage option.
The whole minimum wage idea is to support the employee from abuse, and is bound by law by legistlators.
Do not attack the retailers, by this act you'll drive them out of our neighborhood, and than we will have no jobs at all.
