Pulitzer Editorial

I. Kingsbury gives examples of harsh work conditions that she claims to be present all over the restaurant industry to hook people's sympathetic hearts in.
II. The explosion of the demand for restaurants and the income gap are widening.
III. She says raising wages won't create less jobs, since the claim wasn't based on experience.
IV. Her counter-argument is that jobs have gone up 9.1%, even with a raise in worker wage.
V. Because restaurant workers represent 10% of all the work force, they are likely to be paid less.
VI. She urges consumers to pressure the industry, and lawmakers to reject the demands of the NRA.
VII. The NRA was largely responsible for the "tipped minimum wage," which is $2.63.
VIII. Most restaurant owners are cited to claim that low income and high competition are the reason for low income of workers.
IX. However, Kingsbury says that raising wages across the board wouldn't affect competition.
X. Many Boston restaurant workers work multiple jobs to support their large families.
XI. The paragraph equates America to be just as bad as less-developed countries, and demeans our prided dream by showing how one immigrant's failed.
XII. Kingsbury states that wage theft, and failure to pay overtime are common ways restaurants break the law.
XIII. 165 investigations in 2013 found violations of laws of the Labor Department.
XIV. Things she said the mayor could do was to streamline the permitting process, and support a livable wage.
XV. The conclusion is an ultimatum. It's only effective if the policy is put into action. I take the more psychological route, rather than direct force.
