Fine with me, but their space for negotiation is a very narrow band, between “I would rather eat at a fast food place rather than bring my lunch from home” and “I would rather automate my restaurant rather than hire these workers at that price.”

Meanwhile, here in Texas, we can’t fill all our openings, rent and real estate are a fraction of those there and almost no one works for minimum wage. Please don’t take that as an invitation, motley striking burger jockeys of the East Coast.

Co-Chair Keith Ellison the Muslim POS, that alone should tell you what a dumb idea this is.

You should be paid what you are worth and it could be many are paid more than they are worth due to the minimum wage.
If they are worth more they could get a job elsewhere.
From the market!

Yeah, let’s give them higher pay and benefits, then, “Hey, why is my Filet O Fish combo $15?”

Labour demand in Alberta hit the point a couple of years back where restaurants were paying signing bonuses to busboys.

Nice mass-produced signs. Kind of undercuts the "spontaneous grass roots" fiction, though.
Those "I am a man" signs are a bit disturbing. Might be mistaken for an ED support group instead of a protest.

I call BS. I can get a pair of running shoes at Walmart for $10, usually last 2-3 months.With the proper application of duct tape - 4 months.

Wow. Detroititis all over again.
I can predict what will happen when a McD meal costs as much as a meal at a good restaurant. Give them their $15 and watch the whole industry disappear

Fast food jobs are for teenagers So you have no problem with sending your teenage daughter to work with 40 year old male illegal aliens?

and there are jobs for all those people? college and h.s.?
you must mean all the factory jobs we sent to China,Mexico, Thailand and a host of other nations.
This is perfect for us. People wanting good jobs but instead we get lost in the pay issue as though someone working for motor vehicles is any smarter.
The comments here are a reason we can’t win national elections.

this is only the beginning. Expect to see more of this crap over the next few years. This will become the next “occupy” movement or a lame attempt to create a leftwing tea party but with people who want more government.
