It makes sense that people making just above minimum wage would be opposed to raising it. I'd assume they had put in more time/effort than their coworkers to make those extra dollars an hour and were rewarded accordingly. Let's say they're making like 12 an hour as a shift manager. If the minimum wage were to suddenly increase to 12 an hour, the only people who would benefit would be those making less than that currently. The business would absolutely not give raises to all of its other employees to keep the ratio as it was before. So suddenly, all the hard work for the extra few dollars an hour have gone to waste. It would feel like the people who benefitted got a raise for nothing, while the other person actually had to earn it. Of course they would be opposed to that. It's a tough situation - how do you raise the minimum wage without everything else increasing with it or people harboring resentment?
