Paying $15 an hour would raise fast-food restaurants’ total costs by approximately 15 percent.

That's only on the first wave of consequences. The second, and larger wave comes with the wage inflation across the board as EVERY other economic group seeks to balance the books.

Why shouldn't I be entitled to a 66% increase as well?

EXACTLY. Not to mention union wages are tied to the minimum wage so if the minimum wage rises so do union wages. Like you said, EVERYTHING, not just burgers, will go up.
