Sometimes the left and their allies make it to damn easy to point out there are two Americas

One for the enlightened ones and one for the peons

As with Obamacare, unions took to the street and demanded it be passed. Once passed they demnded to be exempt for it. Now they are doing the same with the law that raised the minimum wage in CA





Union leaders in Los Angeles are being accused of hypocrisy after being caught trying to exempt themselves from a new minimum wage law they tried to impose on others.


For months, organized labor went after companies like McDonalds and Walmart, shaming any business that paid the old minimum wage. Carrying signs saying, "We see greed" and "We are worth more," union members marched outside businesses and appeared at City Council meetings demanding Los Angeles raise the minimum wage from $9 to $15 by 2020.


"We say, 'Don't leave anybody out, don't cut anybody out, a wage raise for all workers!'" Mary Elena Durazo, the longtime leader of the 600,000-strong Los Angeles County Federation of Labor AFL-CIO, told a cheering crowd of supporters at a recent council meeting.

Looks like they are trying to get more Unions and maybe that back fired, I see they where looking for this law but if a company unionized they would be exempt. A backwards way of getting more Unions, maybe ???

Yet after pushing through the new wage law, union officials are asking for a waiver that would allow any company that unionizes to avoid paying the minimum wage.
