Lets get all wages raised in general.

Would have been better if it was just the minimum wage in general that was raised, of course, but pay rises in one industry will push up pay in others, and hopefully this union victory will help to motivate union efforts in other industries.

I hope it does. I don't even care that they'll be right next to my pay and I have a degree. My boss wouldn't pay me more regardless. I worry its too little too late. And I worry that it might not, and other essential staff like janitorial will suffer.

It probably will result in it, a rising tide lifts all boats as they say
