That's the best you can come up with? Now I know why you're making minimum wage.
Fine. Go find a job that pays more. Who says they have to work there?
The amnesty crowd keeps telling us that no Americans will take those low paid jobs and we need illegals to do them instead, so where is the problem?
Protest on MSNBC right now
I wonder how many of them are professional agitators and how many are actually ff workers.
This is Occupy McDonalds. Coordinated from the White Hut.
The price of a big mac doubles. The price of everything doubles. The businesses that can hire illegal immigrants to do the job for cash under the table at less than minimum wage will operate that way.
Jobs disappear, purchasing power declines, and just maybe this triggers the hyper-inflation that’s been building out there ever since the Fed started papering over the deficits with “Quantitative Easing.”
Smart move, commie unions. Hope it works out for you.
GOOD!They’ll soon be out of a job and collecting even more of OBONGO-NOMICS(at our expense)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“...push by labor unions...” Sure - because many of their contracts are a multiple of minimum wage. Raise the minimum by $2 and I get $6 more!
And they dishonestly cloak it in “concern for the poor”.
I HATE liars!
I visit a fast-food joint about once a year. Fire the strikers and hire more illegals, the libs seem to be in love with.
There is a coordination of effort here between Democrats and their shock troop union. Obama and Democrats are badly losing public as real “working people” are getting hammered by Obamacare. So, the Democrats trot out the well worn strategy of increasing the minimum wage in a Kabuki effort to show that Democrats care for “the little guy” and to try and create separation from those evil, rich Republicans who hate the working man, and grandma, and puppies.
A few months ago Obama wanted to raise the minimum wage to about $9, now suddenly he wants to raise it to over $10 an hour.
This is all Democrat political theatre using the thugs at the SEIU. How about creating some jobs!!
By doing this, I would be making room to employ those that are grateful to have a job.
Followup: How many of them actually work, at all?
When the media says “hundreds” in this context it means a couple of dozen. When they say “dozens” it means less than 20. Not much of a protest here.
I’d fire every one of their sorry ignorant asses..............
I am somewhat taken aback by the number of protesters in those photos. Must be professional protesters rounded-up from activist groups.
Getting these fast food workers angry is not a good idea. They have control over the food you eat.
Who knows what they’ll put in your food.
This little known -or cared about- fact should be put into the mix:
A good many well-to-do small business owners put unbelievable hours into their work week after week, year after year after year. Do the math and they make less than the minimum wage.
Not to mention their own blood, sweat, and tears.
They all could become obsolete soon-——http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-12-05/fast-food-workers-go-strike-100-cities-applebees-unveils-waiter-terminator
