      The group said the costs “simply cannot be absorbed by the business model.”

      They can do business, just not be as profitable if they can’t pay slave wages. The problem here is in the quote… they don’t want to change the model where the franchisee’s earn a little less and their crews can actually afford rent.

      There is nothing “free market” about a forced minimum wage.

      There are lots of arguments to be made for an increased minimum wage, at least try to be smart when making them.
