NEW YORK (AP) — Police handcuffed dozens of protesters in cities around the country on Thursday as they blocked traffic in the latest attempt to escalate their efforts to get McDonald's, Burger King and other fast-food companies to pay their employees at least $15 an hour.
The protests, which were planned by labor organizers for about 150 cities nationwide throughout Thursday, are part of a campaign called "Fight for $15."

The majority of the low-life rabble is comprised, not surprisingly, of holder's people. The minimum wage (an invention of the vile Frances Perkins of the FDR "Brain" Trust) is slavery and these people are just asking to be returned to the DemonRAT plantation.
That's a photo of the aforementioned Frances Perkins conspiring with Franklin Diablo Roosevelt to shred the Constitution. Her vile schemes resulted in the NLRB, the minimum wage and the pernicious Ponzi trap known as Social Security. As much as anyone, she's responsible for the rise of communism in America.
Typical partisans of the minimum wage.
for later
I disagree. These types lack the intelligence to be reasoned with. Overwhelming force is the only way to knock any sense into their thick skulls. The Pinkertons were effective to neutralize the strikers in Homestead, Pennsylvania. It's long past time to deal with union scum and the minimum wage rabble in that no-nonsense manner again.
You are correct!
NOTHING sickens me like sub-human filth demanding their God-given rights to the property of others, especially when disrupting traffic or the entrance/exit of private property. Where’s a decent MG-42 when you need it?
Sorry for leaving out the link - this is not a joke, it is a real machine from a real company:
machines can replace many agricultural workers if their wages rise enough to allow for invention and manufacturing of replacements...
The dirty little secret that these people are too stupid to understand is that while they’re chasing a “living wage” above the poverty level, the poverty level is an arbitrary statistical gimmick based on what all people earn, which actually rises the more the aggregate population earns - so the more they make, the more they’re going to be facing a higher poverty line - a dog chasing its own tail - the only people who stand to gain from this silliness are the union bosses, whose income - a percentage of a lot more people’s marginally higher wages - will go up dramatically.......
Consumers need to get it through their heads that they THEMSELVES hold all the cards.... just BOYCOTT the places where people are making these ridiculous demands!!
Fast food ain’t a necessity of life like say home energy or a petroleum...it wouldn’t take more than a week for fast food places to get the message. AND their ‘employees’ would get the message too, real quick!
Those numbers a realistic. McDonalds and the dregs of the fast food industry get the worst workers who don't last long. They're always training new people who mostly don't stick around. How is that profitable?
The problem would take care of itself if US workers didn't have to compete with invaders. If low-income workers had any brains, they'd be protesting having to compete with unnecessary foreign labor.
Our choice of terms to characterize these protestors may seem extreme to leftists: sub-human filth, goons, thugs, low-lifes, bipedal garbage and such. I think those words are quite apt and descriptive. Yet those associated with Big Labor have a far more offensive term they apply to those of us who prefer to work rather than strike: SCAB! I've been called that numerous times when I boldly cross picket lines.
I think you are confusing the fast food workers who
WORK at the restaurants being picketed with the protestors (most of whom have probably barely worked a day in their lives). There is little, if any, overlap between the two groups.
The $15 crowd are by and large outside agitators, not actual fast food workers.
