at a moment when tourism is tanking due to governmental policies, wonder how it will play out.
karlgkk•1d ago
which policies?
apercu•1d ago
Perhaps they mean the on again off again on again tariffs that have destroyed trade relationships and consumer confidence, which certainly impacts tourism.
waitwhat•1d ago
There is also the foreign policy based on threats and insults, increasing reports of hostile border experiences, reductions in non-tourist visas, US economic policy reducing consumer confidence globally leading to fewer people committing to inter-continental travel, and the fact that some people simply prefer not to visit countries whose domestic policies they disagree with.

The ones that make foreigners afraid to come.

The ones where you threaten annexation of other counties, lie about them, insult them and then they boycott you.

frankharv•1d ago
So an Inside Machinist would earn $17.28 minimum while a housekeeper at a hotel makes $30 minimum.

A person who needs schooling to do their job versus a person who cleans.

This is the problem with setting setting wages for individual occupations.

Strongest union wins?

They do it this way so they can move the wages inch by inch. There is not as much opposition if you do it one industry at a time. Same thing they did with the fast food worker minimum wage.
