Would this be a good time for them and other industries demanding more pay to force their company's hand?
Yep they should. Healthcare professionals/fast food workers/delivery persons are keeping this country a float right now while everyone else is staying home. They deserve the money that these idiot video bloggers/insta thots make

Funny thing its when this wraps up, companies will probably rev up investments into Automation and how to get their operations running with as little people as possible.

Bruh, some of the posts in this thread are pitiful. I hope y'all have grown and don't think like this still. Fools make 50k and suddenly turn up their nose to people wanting living wages. You are not better than anyone because of your salary. dikkheads talking about stop being lazy or stop buying the latest IPhone and you'll be ok. Meanwhile these corporations that have been making record profits for years can't afford to sit for 2 weeks without crying for help.
Let's be real though...a lot of Coli folks don't want to see a 15 an hour minimum wage because of one reason...they went though college or a cert program for x amount of years, racked up all this student loan debt, got their degree/certs and feel like they deserve substantially more than the teenager or ex-felon working the fryer at Burger King. These certs and degrees got folks feeling superior, and they look at the next man scuffling and trying to make a way working for peanuts as less than them. It's shameful shyt.

Sad how people can be against a better life for others just because life wasn't as easy for them.

HOUS-e-
I see both sides of this one side of it i see what critical thinking does the fast food industry have that warrants a $15 hr wage and on the other side I've worked in the fast food industry for 12 years before transitioning over to tech full time and I've seen numerous stories and situations where these workers struggle and should not have to and they deserve a liveable wage.

that's why I don't buy any of these fukk nikkas and their fake ass pivots to pretending they care about black folk on the bottom

they really don't, they're no different than the bougie people they claim to hate, which is really just envy.

Some Coli folk better off getting the guillotine treatment, for holding grudges towards working class people

It baffles me how people don't understand mininum wages destroy small business which is the majority of buisnesses out there, minimum wage always increases expenses and decreases the work force. The more small companies need to pay the more jobs they have to cut. need to fight for a restructured cost of living in their states. The real issue is in the prices it costs to rent or buy real estate. There's no reason a regular full-time job at a low wage can't at least get you a relatively quaint spot to rent in most cities. Like damnit in California you gotta make like 30$ an hour to rent comfortably which is basically the real minimum wage, so 15-20- even 25$ will not help.

You can't give all fast food workers $15 an hour, you have to price labor where it meets demand. They deserve a higher wage that's about $10-12 an hour but that's the highest it should go. It's not about wanting people to suffer, it's just basic economics. An increase that steep would cause more problems than it solves

if you can’t afford a livable wage them you don’t deserve employees

$15 wasn’t enough when this thread was made so it damn sure ain’t enough now
