DETROIT (WWJ) – After McDonald’s announced a $1 an hour raise, increased vacation time and educational benefits for employees in its non-franchise stores, local cashiers and cooks marched to one of the company’s restaurants Thursday.
And it wasn’t to offer thanks.
Dozens of protesters burst into the McDonald’s on W. McNichols and Livernois Thursday to have their voices heard, demanding raises to boost them to $15 an hour....

I’d bet that MOST of the protesters are NOT McDonalds employees.

Correct. Look for the purple people beater SEIU shirts.
This is 99.9% union run.
Why? Because SEIU unionistas apparently have no actual job to go to and can protest at the drop of a hat on a "work day"
Any who benefits? why the UNIONS, who get an automatic raise based on the minimum wage.
The poor McDonald's employees will get a pink slip.

I’m sorry but after having my food delivered at 9pm with a laugh from minority employees is not appetizing. I should have thrown the food in the dumpster 20 feet ahead. Why I even ate the food is I guess I was so hungry in the 1st place. Sorry, all the coupons and freebees won’t bring me back.

And these 15 dollar an hour supporters are doing everything they can to move those automated systems to the front burner. Once the reliability issues are solved and the numbers work out they’re never going to get those jobs back.

Why stop at $15.00?

What these idiots don’t seem to get is they wouldn’t qualify for a job if it paid $15 an hour. Someone who is making $12 an hour would qualify for that job and they would be out of a job.

Come on, guys, why sell yourself short? If $15/hr is good, you should strike for $500/hr. You know you’re worth it. (Ahem...and these idiots wonder why they’re making minimum wage.)
