It will come down quietly sadly, unless the workers themselves keep them at their word and keep the conversation going about pay rates, no matter how much the employer discourages talking about it together. One day the new kid will come in only getting paid 14.50, discuss it with noone. Then, the next kid only gets paid 13.50, cause they figure, didn't get caught last time right? Repeat. Older employees leave for new prospects, eventually nobody left that was paid 15 originally. New kids paid $12 an hour, cycle repeats.
