Corporate Complaining
Jennifer McClelland | RSS | 2 Comments
There is a history in our country of corporations complaining about new government regulations and somehow the big corporations continue to survive even with the new regulations. I like this cartoon because it shows just how ridiculous some companies can be. While the cartoon may be a bit exaggerated, like most political cartoons are, this one is generally correct.
I think this one missed out on minimum wage though. That argument comes up every few years or so because it can always be heard by some business owners, “If you raise minimum wage, I can’t afford to stay open.” It always happens.
The Pitch – How often should minimum wage increase?
Bank of America says it won’t raise fees ahead of new regulations

In some ways I can understand why businesses would complain, because it can add several thousands of dollars a month in additional costs.
However on the whole labor laws are meant to ensure wellness among the work force and should understand that to be in business is also one in which you must comply with rules and regulations set forth by other people than themselves.
