Because their employer took all their perks away to compensate.
Anyone that has ever run a business or even has a lick of common sense knows this is what happens when costs go up in one area.

I don't know how much I trust an article that can't get a simple fact, like a waitresses hourly wage before the hike, correct.
In WA you cannot cut wages of workers who typically receive tips as compensation. The minimum wage was $9.19 before Seatac jumped to $15. So the waitress was making $9.19 an hour plus tips, not $7. I know it's semantics but that's just lazy reporting and makes me question how much of what the Asian wrote on her blog is actually true.
To the overall point...What did these dummies think would happen?

What? Actions have consequences?

Did people think perks wouldn't go away when employers are forced to pay more for the same work? Are we really that dumb in America now?

So what you're saying is employers have decided to penalize their employees for a law they don't like by giving them a net reduction in overall compensation.
That has never happened before. This is definitely news worthy of consideration.
Conservatives should applaud the replacement of 401k's with higher wages. It means the employee is free from the overburdening restrictions of government regulated 401ks and able to invest their retirement savings in sensible things like gold and bitcoin.
