Perhaps a union could front them some of their money so they could open up their own burger joint, dominate the marketplace, and distribute the profits directly to the workers (and payback the union for the loan) Would they unionize?

Back in the 80s there was a well written snarky fictional essay called “GM Burgers” where the UAW organized McDonalds and the company went out of business in a couple years.

One of the actual problems unions face is that most name brand fast foods are actually fairly small franchise operations. So the effort to organize each one is pretty huge relative to the number of employees of each franchise owner.

Yep, why doesn’t the union start their own fast food places and retail outlets with such great wages?

I’ve always wanted to see a reality show based on idiot average Joe liberals having to start and maintain a business with average start up capital.
