From $8/hour to $15/hour their shifts would need to be almost cut in half for them to come out further behind.

Makes you wonder how so many jobs would be lost if employers could opt to simply reduce the benefits received by their the employees they choose to pay the minimum the law allows for. Unless of course the majority of minimum wage earners don’t receive benefits to begin with.

That is happening regardless of whether or not the minimum wage is increased, so if you earn minimum wage and it isn’t being increased, you’re already falling behind.
