2.完整新闻标题: Dunkin' CEO: $15 min wage is 'outrageous'
3.完整新闻内文:
Dunkin' Donuts' top executive says a $15 minimum wage for fast food workers
is "absolutely outrageous."
Dunkin Donut的CEO表示, 对速食业员工来说给到US$15时薪绝对是太夸张了
On Thursday, New York state's wage board recommended fast food workers make
at least $15 per hour. The board said it should happen by the end of 2018 in
New York City.
本周四纽约州薪酬委员会建议速食业员工时薪应该至少US$15起跳, 他们预期2018年底
左右在纽约市应该会成真
Dunkin' Brand (DNKN) CEO Nigel Travis says the plan will do more harm than
good.
对此Dunkin的CEO Travis表示这计划带来的伤害会远比好处多
Travis said he supports governments making "reasonable increases" to the
minimum wage, but a hike to $15 per hour represents a 71% increase over the
current state minimum.
Travis支持政府做"合理的最低薪资调涨", 但涨到US$15/时薪足足涨了71%耶
"It's going to affect small businesses and franchises," Travis said in an
interview with CNN's Poppy Harlow. He said it would prevent his multi-billion
dollar company from hiring new people.
Travis说这将会影响到中小企业的生计, 也会让他执掌的数十亿美金企业对雇用新员工
却步
"I don't want to sound threatening about that," he added, saying it probably
wouldn't force Dunkin' to lay off workers.
他补充说:"我并不想让大家觉得我在威胁些什么, Dunkin不会因此做出裁员"
Travis argued that fast food companies are a starting point in the job
market, and he said most of the Dunkin' employees on minimum wage are
teenagers that are expected to move on to higher-paying jobs.
他争辩速食业是求职市场的最前线, 多数领着最低薪资的Dunkin员工都是青少年, 预计
之后都会离开去找薪水更高的工作
He said he does support a "living wage," or the concept that pay should be
tied to an employee's cost of living.
Travis说他真的支持的是"能温饱的薪资", 主要概念是员工的薪资应该跟能温饱的生活
成本等同
Fast food workers making about $12 per hour sounds more reasonable to Travis.
He said that would be the living wage for a worker with family at home.
对Travis来说给速食业员工US$15的时薪会比较合理, 因为他觉得领US$12时薪就能让员
工获得足够的温饱
MIT's Living Wage Calculator, however, indicates New York state's living wage
is currently $12.75 for a single adult. For a household with two working
parents and two kids, it estimates each worker would need to make $18.30 an
hour. The current minimum wage in New York State is $8.75 and hour.
然而MIT的研究指出纽约州的"温饱薪资"水平对一个单身成年人来说, 是US$12.75;
如果是双亲双小孩的家庭, 双亲每一位的"温饱薪资"水平最少得有US$18.30;
但目前纽约州的法定最低薪资时薪是US$8.75
Travis said the decision to raise wages in New York is premature. "A debate
needs to take place about how to tackle income inequality," he said.
New York's wage increase still needs approval from the state labor
commissioner.
Travis说现在谈拉高纽约州的最低薪资还太早啦~
