Biden, who often touts himself as a union man on the campaign trail, made the promise while speaking at a rally organized by the progressive organization Fight for 15 in Los Angeles, California. During his remarks, which came only hours before the Democrat presidential primary debate, the former vice president channeled his more progressive rivals when stating that fight for $15-an-hour was about more than economics.
Its not just the numbers, and by the way theres been a war on fast food workers for a long, long time, the former vice president said, before lambasting companies like Chuck E. Cheese that require their workers to sign non-compete agreements.
Its all about depressing the wages for working people, Biden said. Folks, look were in a situation now where we find ourselves in a position, where you are the victims of power, a significant amount of power.

There is only one way you can fight back power, he said. That is with more power, and thats union power
we should unionize McDonalds.

The minute they’re unionized, McDonalds will all go self-serve, with two or three employees there.
Failed socialism is invariably replaced with more socialism.
If the minimum wage in California and New York is to be $15 an hour, fast food joints are simply going to substitute robots for youngsters entering the workforce for the first time. By forcing this automation, the left destroys a valuable tool of society, a path for introducing otherwise feckless youth into workplace discipline so necessary for their advancement up the economic ladder.
Expect the next step to be to prohibit that automation.
For every leftist Nostrum there is at least one unanticipated negative consequence -yet another maxim.
He must be trying to get the Mafia on his side par for a democrat.
Thats We, Comrades!
And yet corporations believe giving money to Democrats and their incessant virtue signaling will make the public love them and keep the wolves stalking them.
He is apparently not aware of union Dr line over the last 1/4 century.
Imagine the pace of burger production if it were unionized.
Stay out of this, Joe. Your PuppetMasters don’t know what they’re talking about. The Labor Union usually becomes to greedy and demanding, resulting in less people actually working than without a union. Go back to talking about swimming pools and Cucarachas. That’s more on your level.
True, McDonald’s, and many fast food and national pizza chains, are franchised businesses.
I don’t know enough about labor law or labor activity to say, but, I’m thinking that “unionizing” McDonald’s would involve getting a union in literally thousands of independently owned businesses. Otherwise, can McDonald’s Corporate, require that each franchise form a union? But then, aren’t unions completely separate from the businesses where those employees work?
Sorry I don’t know all the ins and outs, but, Joe may be blowing smoke here.
Correction: he is not aware of union decline over the last 1/4 century.
In other news, Biden denounced Ronald McDonald as a “cruel exploiter of underpaid minority youths” and demanded a huge contribution to his campaign.
Biden also challenged Mayor McCheese to a pushup contest, accused Officer Mac of police brutality, and enrolled Hamburglar in criminal rehab.
Is there any part of the daily lives of Americans that he’s not an expert on? The guy is a genius!
I wonder how many McDonald’s jobs Slo-Joe’s unionization will remove from the lives of the young.
“Flawless robotic grill chefs in 3...2...1...”
And they won’t spit in your food!
Once again slow joe proves he has no grasp on reality........ or is it that reality has no grasp on joe. Or as Bugs Bunny put it what a maroon!
Who is this we? He doesn’t work at McDonald’s.
Trump shuts down his pedovore food supply, now Bidet is trying to shut down Trumps food supply.
That's what you get when someone has no concept of business. I can say that because I was owned a PIP Printing franchise and know how they work.
Uh, the Fedgov?
