It always cracks me up. These clowns are screaming for more money but why aren’t they screaming for more hours?

It’s time for Americans to start striking against the greedy, commie union thugs. They’ve become a real pain in the @$$. Where’s my Louisville Slugger?

I agree with Mr Rojas. He’s underemployed, he should get a better job. It sounds like he actually wants to get one. He’s trying to live on a fast food job, which is not what those jobs are meant for. He should start by asking Democrats why they try so hard to make the economy smaller with taxes and regulation, and demeaning people who start businesses and hire people.

These strikes will drive automation. Soon there will be no jobs.

Hey, working more than 25 hours a week cuts into his online gaming career!

If the protesters do not work there, it’s not a “strike”

More hours working? Why that would cut into their Playstation time. Or whatever else they sit around doing the other 138 hours of the week they aren't working.

You make a good point though. If they put a little more time into their jobs and showed some ambition to better themselves, their bosses might give them a little more responsibility other than flipping burgers and working the drive-thru.

And I’d bet he still thinks Obama is the greatest president ever.

How many bothered to complete high school. Too many are out there not caring to do what it takes to get a decent paying job and now all of a sudden life’s not fair to them?! Learn the hard way. Let them fail and learn to have higher expectations— from themselves!!

There’s a much deeper story here.
Private sector union membership has plunged over the last 3 decades.

In the Baraqqi economy, there’s really no “breadwinner” jobs left to organize.

So the unions are pushing for fast food, WalMart, etc.
Even if these poor chumps only pay 10 bucks a month or so in union dues, if they can organize millions of workers, it adds up to some real dough for the Dems.

23 years old and working for $8.00 an hour at a fast food restaurant.

How about getting an education and getting a better paying job?

The problem is that Mr. Rojas believes slinging french fries should be a lifelong career. It isn’t.

If a job isn’t giving you enough hours, you get another part time job.
