17% increase across the board.... So 17% price hike on all items made/sold/manufactured from min wage employees?
So companies can drop 17% increase on the consumers, cuz they damn well aint gonna take it out of their profits
Fast food workers strike, demanding $15 an hour

i support the efforts to get unionized and negotiate a contract.

dial it down a bit.
and the nature of the fast food industry with the high turnover rate is going to play a huge factor in the efforts

I just seen a clip on a Doc based in Detroit. Union workers were making $17, Company offered them $14. I know its shytty...
Union didn't budge.
All those manufacturing jobs are now in Mexico breh.
Life aint fair... diversify your investments, stack ya paper. Rainy days come.
People gotta realize, the owners of these companies don't care, if you make more money. I betcha the owners of McDonalds can't wait to have touch screen cashiers, and robots dropping fries, that cant get burned by grease... No employees. Everything will just run by a few people.
It's always been said "Dont bite the hand that feeds you." If the employees can't figure out how to create more wealth, make more money. Diversify their time, and learn a trade, open an ecommerce online shop. Do anything where they control their money. shyt they cant force any company to give them a raise.

And you know what's sad, I wrote that, and I work for a company. I just do side shyt/hustles cuz you never know when I may not have a job to come into. I do the online affiliate, and flip lil stuff when I can.
More people need to get motivated..
I watch his videos at work... Probably better dudes out there. But you have to have hustler mindset

LMFAO. 17 cents per dollar is 17% breh
slow down lame nicca, I was going by this excerpt below, which initially seemed to qualify the increase as being limited to a few items. I didnt read the later statement that it was across the board (minor contradiction within article).

17 cent....to "dollar menu" items" nikka.
nikka shut your dumb ass up. You was wrong, chill. LMAO.[/b]
Fair enough....so whats the problem here? We've been told that increasing worker pay was unsustainable, and would result in price increase for items somewhere in the 400-500% range....now we learn that paying workers a livable range would mean an increase at pennies on the dollar for all food items (this also includes benefits, mind you)
So lets see here....a little minor inflation on food is somehow a problem. (bear in mind increasing worker pay will give them more discretionary income, which will be spent back into the economy as those on the lower economic strata tend to spend vs. save -- thus leading to growth) But a billion dollar company that receives tax payer subsidies and does not pay livable wages, which in turn makes us, the public, have to subsidize that company again by paying for welfare, food stamps, medicare, ext of that working poor group they employ so that they can survive, isnt a problem?

The fukk are you carrying on about? If the 17% increase was only for dollar menu....which I initially interpreted as such, then how is that a 17% increase across the board? You do know Mcdonalds has more than a dollar menu. Fck outta here, trollin ass.
That's the crazy part, the majority of people who are against welfare are also against these fast food workers getting a hike in pay.
So should we just kill these people, I mean that seems to be the only alternative since they shouldn't be getting welfare and they shouldn't get liveable wages

exactly. man these nikkas tryin to get over a 100% raise for a job where they have ZERO leverage whereas in most corporations, nikkas with certs and degrees are getting less than 5% raises annually

well they did say it'd add 68 cents to a big mac which is currently 3.99, which is also a 17% increase. so it's safe to say that all their menu items would go up 17%.

Pretty much....thats why I maintain that the true class warfare is against the lower middle class and poor. They dont want them on welfare, and always strive to slash benefits. They dont want their wages increased....this group statistically rarely leaves their economic strata, which shows that social mobility is all but dead (not that way in the mid 20th century, before corporations bought off govt). Its like if you're not born rich, they want you to fcking die.
Definitely race related. The American ideal of working hard, and being able to provide decently through lower level, lower skilled jobs was the backbone of this country. Once that group of people increasingly included people of color, the war on the lower middle class and poor began.
