I figure the problem here is people think that cutting hours = cutting into their pay when its not.
Whats the outrage?

It's the ol' bait and switch. I really don't think Bernie supporters were advocating for the $15 an hour
with less hours. I think they want the same hours at $15. duh.
Plus a lot of companies only offer the bennies to full-time employees.
This is why you do not want the government dictating an hourly wage. The market will decide that. If you're worth $15 an hour and you're only getting paid $10 someone will steal you from that employer.
