It has been my experience that when the wages go up, so does everything else.

If you think Kshama is a political opportunist, you clearly haven't been doing your homework on her background. She's been fighting on these issues for years and would be doing it whether she was in office or not. Plus, unlike sheer opportunists, she's been on the cutting edge and pushing the envelope, not jumping on the bandwagon once it's already a done deal. She helped put the wage issue on the map.
