McDonalds, Wendys and other fast-food restaurants are expected to be targeted with acts of civil disobedience that could lead to arrests Thursday as labor organizers escalate their campaign to unionize the industrys workers.
Kendall Fells, an organizing director for Fast Food Forward, said in an interview that workers in a couple of dozen cities were trained to peacefully engage in civil disobedience ahead of this weeks planned protests.
Fells declined to say what exactly is in store for the protests in around 150 U.S. cities. But workers involved in the movement recently cited sit-ins as an example of strategies they could use to intensify their push for higher pay and unionization. Past protests have targeted a couple of restaurants in each city.

I once worked for a company that thought I was replaceable.
They went out of business.
Probably would have gone out of business anyway sooner or later since they had more people working in the office than actually bringing in money, but getting rid of me they lost 3 customers at a time they couldn’t afford to loose 3 customers.
That burger never passed her lips
Interviewer: “Your last employer states that you worked there for 8 days, then participated in a riot that resulted in burning down the restaurant...”
Derp: “See? I told you I had experience!”
"The UAW stands in solidarity with you! See how well this worked for us!"
she may not like veggie burgers. :-)
You’re probably right. Food as depicted in commercials is not what it seems.
Her sugar daddy feeds her Wagyu beef whenever she wants it.

Hello, all you union morons, say hello to AUTOMATION and good bye job.
This has NOTHING to do with raising wages for anyone, and EVERYTHING to do with the November election.
These idiots don’t realize that under socialism and communism in the 20th century that whole swaths of peoples were deemed “disposable”, and not in that “you’re being replaced by a robot” thing.
Sounds like a classic case of sales vs administrative to me.
and this coincides with Obama stating raise the minimum wage, , what a mighty coincidence.

I really don’t think these people have thought this thru.
In the age of automation, in which we live, it’s a precarious position.
...” labor organizers”.....
They could care less about the people...they want unions and the money it generates.
You have that exactly right....there’s a gas station here that has a full counter of these machines to “pick” your choice.
Yulk...I’ll cook at home thank you.
...”This has NOTHING to do with raising wages for anyone, and EVERYTHING to do with the November election”...
Yes...and lining the pockets of the Unions, or soon to be, in order to fund their candidates.
Sheesh...nothing in America is what it seems it should be!
I have ordered food w/o a waiter, and paid the bill w/o a waiter.
Just say’n...
