> The measures she proposes would likely raise wages for everyone

Then it’s not realistic. How can companies afford to raise their highest expense?

This will put a cap on skilled negotiators since it creates a fixed range.

Call it a “benefit”. I could see how it “benefits” more workers, but I wouldn’t call it “empowering”.

It does make good negotiators more powerless.

So we’re back to my original point then.


> This will put a cap on skilled negotiator

So what?


So it’s not “empowerment”. It’s equal outcomes. It’s not “leveling the playing field”, it’s removing the playing field. If that’s your goal whatever, but dressing it up behind platitudes is dishonest.


If there’s a band it’s still negotiable where in the band you end up.
