No Minimum Wage

Steve Markovich –

Dominos’ Pizza Fund Raising/Field Marketing Manager

We employ about 270 people in Northern KY and Ohio. Raising the minimum wage to over $7.00 means we will need to fire a significant number of people in order to control operating costs and maintain profits. Hence, more people on the unemployment rolls. Guaranteed. Additionally, a reduction in advertising spending is slated. 

Now consider that Domino’s alone employs over 13,000 people in the USA, most of whom are minimum wage earners…Then consider the layoffs in the Pizza category and the fast food category. Imagine how many minimum wage earners will shift to the unemployment rolls.

And considering the price of gasoline at over $2.00 / gallon, a raise in minimum wages is the wrong action at the wrong time for businesses.

When terminating employees, we have decided to provide them with the names and numbers of their legislators, particularly Ted Kennedy.
