Sounds like some of the “newly arrived” WILL be able to find work on their work permits. Heck, they’ll work for $7.15/hr no questions asked. Well at least til laraza tell them the white man is stickin’ it to them.

I suspect in 10 yrs the typical fast food place will have 2 employees per shift, basically to do logistics and sanitation.

If they are fed up, they should quit the job.

They also need a reality check. Fast food hired help in the labor market just isn’t worth what they seek.

They also need another reality check, which is that the jobs in the economy that pay well require schooling, training, college, and/or experience gained in lower level jobs which qualify them for the better jobs.

Bottom line — They can and should seek out other opportunities if they feel under paid and under valued. They should also educate themselves about what it takes to get the better paying jobs they would like to have, and do what it takes to get education and training to fill such jobs.

1,300 out of how many million? All three of our daughters were fast food workers for 3-4 years of high school and college. They are all working professional jobs now.

It is called graduation and moving up. Ever heard of it?

Let’s run ‘em over a scale. From what I see, I’d bet 8 out of 10 are plenty well “fed” as well. And let’s put all the smartphones on the table and see how they shake out too, and then check the kind of cars in the parking lot.

You know what would be hilarious: A one-minute ad showing the corporate board of some fictitious restaurant chain giving in to the demands, then one month later (within the ad) shows customers placing their orders at the drive-thru, only to cancel and speed through when they hear the prices of the food.

And then the employees whining why no one is buying food, and the store manager calmly explains the effects of the minimum wage and that they're going to be fired and replaced by robots.

Legal Plunder Has Many Names

Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism.

They can demand whatever they want and it won’t matter, there won’t be enough customers that can afford the product to keep the business open, but hey neither they or the predatory unions goading them have the slightest idea of how business works.

“People are just fed up,” said Cindy Enriquez, 20, of Phoenix....

Well Cindy, start putting up drywall 10 hours a day instead of putting burgers and fries in a bag and I am sure you will get what you ask and more.

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?

Squirting ketchup on a McBurger and salting fries aren’t exactly jobs requiring a high level of technical skill. Half of them ought to maybe try graduating high school first before they demand a ‘living wage’.

If all the work you can get is at fast food joints for minimum wage, then that is all you are worth.

They'll only quicken the markets transformation to the inevitable. Most fast food workers will be replaced by automated processes.

The technicians that stock and service the machines will likely make better money.
