| But the Axios site was careful not to mention the subsequent
| pressure on CEOs to recruit American workers with fair-market offers
| of higher wages.
|
| On June 10, for example, the Washington Post reported comments from
| Patrick Whalen, a co-owner of five restaurants in Charleston and
| Charlotte, North Carolina, who has long benefited from a bubble of
| cheap imported labor:
|
|| After one of his managers told him that a line cook needed to
|| borrow money to get groceries, Whalen was moved to reconsider wages
|| at the company.
||
|| "It was just one of those moments where you just kind of stop
|| and you say, 'Is there a real problem in our industry?'" he said.
|| "We always kind of knew it was there, but we didn't really know what
|| to do with it."
||
|| The company raised the starting wage for all of its staff to $15
|| an hour, up from $12 to $13. And it created a "tip the kitchen"
|| program, adding a second line to table checks for gratuity for the
|| back-of-the-house staff, which the restaurant matches up to $500 per
|| night. That move has increased wages for non-tipped employees such
|| as line cooks and dishwashers to an average of $23.80 an hour,
|| Whalen said.
