Every teen should be required to work at a fast food restaurant in high school for at least three months. If that shyt doesn't make you want you put your head between a book or take up a trade, nothing will.

The entire problem with this type of union...is that they have no skill... it's not UAW or SAG, not a teachers union..hell, it's not even a UWFA.... what leverage do they have?
the difference between 50 years ago, and today.. is that there are far less people who work blue collar skilled labor jobs.
oh, we're gonna quit
... when these same spots turn right around the next day and hire for all them positions right on the spot..on top of that, they could raise wages $1 just to spite all them people who quit.they've streamlined these fast food jobs to the point, where you only need to know how to count, and press the button for the machine to operate.
you've gotten too caught up in these social justice circles on your college campus, and have missed out on reality breh.

nikkas done gone off the liberal deep end. Fast food job is unskilled labor. What skill do these fools have that warrant that type of pay. I use to work fast food so I know

Minimum wage should provide for the bare expenses. I thought that was the point.
$12/hr sounds about right.
I already see people in here with their slave mentality acting like its a privilege for everyone in society to earn an honest living. I know you got your IT certs
but, everybody should be able to have a bed to sleep in, food in the fridge & the lights on. You can't do that shyt with $8/hr.

And I have said this in other discussions on wage, but the question shouldn't be how to raise pay to make living comfortable. All that does is encourage the cost side to keep hiking prices and making things more expensive. The question should be how to make $12/hr livable. $12/hr is doable... if your rent is $500/mo, you have free healthcare, etc. etc. Raising wages doesn't solve the problem.
Plus in any case most of these people are not even working full time. So even if you made the wage livable for a full time person these people would still be just treading water. You're not thinking this through

There is no such thing as getting what you deserve in America. You get what you negotiate, or what you take.

Im not going to get into it with you. First its "oh they cant afford it", then its "oh they dont have to do pay more, its capitalism", now its "oh why should they have to pay more, workers have no skill". You're desperately fighting the fight for the 1% like your life depends on it, and its slave niqqas like you that have enabled these ruthless fcks to extract our collective wealth, to the tune of ownership wealth growing 400% in the last 30 years, while wealth for middle class workers has increased 10% during that time. You'll fight for the 1% like you're mitt romney's kid for god knows what reason, not realizing that a win for labor is a win for the middle class, as all it does is drive up wages for all. Thats reality.But dont mind me and my lil "social justice" rants.
You're just being argumentative. Somehow we are to assume that one of the biggest corporations on the planet cant afford a marginal increase in pay to their workers --- workers who btw are not earning a livable wage. And I already covered the equilibrium part, and how "hiking prices" is merely a scare tactic employed to keep people from organizing against big business.
And you conveniently ignored my example of in and out burger...whom I have "intimate knowledge" of, and I know they start their employees as a wage that far exceeds one of the biggest corporations in the world. Get real.
In N Out is only on the west coast/ southwest.... are you really trying to compare a private regional chain to a publicly traded global enterprise?
you realize you are making my argument for me, right?
