Fast food workers strike, demanding $15 an hour

The real solution is to stop supporting these corporate chains. But we all know it won't happen.

$15 for working in the fast food industry?
The only reason that this is even an argument, is because of the cost of living in the NYC.
i understand the argument of minimum wage being "a living wage" vs. " we would pay you less, but it's illegal"... but $15
Demanding twice the minimum wage and union benefits when you work an entry-level job
No significant wage increase are going to happen over there especially when wages for low-skill jobs have gone DOWN since the recession.

Right, but thats for more higher end items. I assume the cat talking about 10 dollar mcds burgers, is talking about the lower priced burgers and meals jumping significantly in price. Thats a scare tactic, and it wont happen because the market equilibrium wont allow for it. Customers are used to paying a certain amount for mcdonalds food. A huge jump, and most customers will find other alternatives, and not frequent the restaurant at all. McDonalds whole appeal is cheap food, and customers will feel violated.
It's ridiculous, but I support anyone trying to improve their situation. You got nikkas in another thread building themselves up to get some ass but when people want more money they need "to know their role."

What type of fast food joint are you gonna run, where you start paying people $15... and think you're gonna still reap the same profits without doing anything to compensate breh?
you either gonna have to raise prices, cut hours/positions, or use lower quality materials... or all three. there isn't a way around it.
@ these career fast food workers
companies already preparing for this..
I don't know anything about New york sity or there restaurant locations, but say if u have 5 mcdonalds within 4 mile radius in midtown manhattan... it's going to be easy for mcdonaldss, kfc, etc, etc to shut down 2 of the restaurants and keep the other 3 open and rework there hours of operation in order to pay that amount of money.
this is why companies continue and continue to either shut down or move there business elsewhere cause the government wants to tell u what u should pay employees.. what about small businesses.. they will basically have to cut everybody and run a skeleton crew..

There will always be low wage jobs. That's why you try to educate yourself enough to a point where you don't have to work these jobs.
They might be able to get $1-$2 more, but they are it of their mind if they think they are getting twice that and full benefits for a job that doesn't even require a high school diploma

The same equilibrium principle applies to the price of labor. Franchise profit margins are only about 10%, they can't support a doubling in the cost of labor.
Personally I would not be surprised if they came out with a McDonalds machine in the next 10 years. The job is as menial as they come.
lol...you make McDonalds sound like some tiny mom and pop operation that survives on a shoestring budget. Theres plenty of revenue and capital to allow for better compensation for their employees.
So what's exactly going to change again? :sayword:
