So these alleged workers are going to strike for more money when millions of people are looking for jobs, any job......it will take about two minutes to fill the vacancies.

Note to self (in crayon).

Do not buy McDonald’s hamburger on Thursday because no one will be there to make it. If there is someone there to make it, I don’t like to think of the words “scabs” and “burger” while I’m eating.

Let me know how that strike goes. I quit eating fast food and processed food product years ago.

“Workers going on strike are demanding $15 an hour wages, mirroring the demand for $2 an hour the organizers of the 1963 march made.”

Good day to get an application for your teen needing an after school job.

$15 an hour? Nice.

So a Big Mac combo would cost about $10.

The other day I saw 2 guys in 90 degree weather and very high humidity doing lawnwork. That job may be worth $15/hr but flipping handburger not so much!

I want the fast food workers in ca, to tell me how the increase in minimum wages has worked out for them.

Fast food outlets in Ca are taking it in the shorts since the minimum wage went up to $8.00 an hour on January 1st 2013.

Which means there are a lot less fast food jobs for them teenage kids looking for work.

No information doofuses have no clue what "free market" means. It's the engine that drives prosperity.
But allowing the useless not only to set their own salaries, but to demand the government to control how little they should pay for what they need, ain't it.

Just make the minimum wage for people who can't even make change, answer a single question about their country's history, or how the government works, make it $40 an hour and Hussein's(an Marx') paradise will finally have arrived.

Don’t often use fast food joints so they can close down every other day as far as I am concerned.

The average young person works at McDonald’s for about six months, just enough time to get enough work experience to get the hell out of there and find a better-paying job. Anybody who hangs around there flipping burgers year after year is just a LOSER.
