Why are Y'all against fastfood workers making $15/HR???

[CrimsonTider]

Companies pay as little as possible on purpose. If you are not satisfied with the wages then don't work that job. Mcdonalds shouldn't have to make sure you live a comfortable life.

Labor is the biggest expense at most companies and its where most of the revenues are spent.

It's not normal for most companies to pay employees minimum wage.

Especially not companies whose profits are in the billions

shyt why stop at doubling their salaries if you really wanted to help why don't you just triple them our quadruple them. Then they would be making 30 and hour having to trouble feeding thier family, it wouldn't "hurt" any one ALL mcds would have to do then is charge 8 dollars a hamburger - such a small sacrifice to help out all these hard working people

What in the hell are you arguing?

Do you place money in the tip jar when you purchase goods at a franchise?

What is the point you're trying to prove?

Anyone opening a MCD franchise is already rich.

There is no reason for someone the owns a MCD to pay the people pennies

Is purchasing a franchise a risk? How would you operate your own business if you owned a McDonalds, Subway, Dunkin Donuts etc...

Stop demonizing these folks who are taking on the RISK of purchasing a franchise and gainfully employing people.

If you'd like to have an illegal immigrant convo we can do that too, but Im sure you're very pro illegal immigration.

They are not gainfully employing anyone. They are exploiting people.

This is not very high risk.

Their biggest expense, Labor, is subsidized by the government

So someone who's choosing to work there is being exploited? Holy shyt.

And yeah, zero risk at all- every franchise that's ever opened its doors or has changed ownership kills it in profits. They never ever close down. Ever.

There are plenty of jobs, just not enough skilled workers for them. I'd rather more emphasis be put into training people to work skilled jobs vs paying people more money to do an unskilled job.

So the government should continue to allow companies to pay people below what they consider to be the poverty level in this country?

So people should go to work everyday, make a honest living and get paid an amount of money that would (according to the government) categorize them as living in poverty.

A high school student/retiree doesn't need to be above poverty wage though.

if you want to stop poverty, ensure that people go to school for employable skills that are in need. An adult who needs a full time salary should not be working a minimum wage job anywhere. If you are in need of a salary, then you need to get some salary skills.

If McDonald's pays their employees more, the economy as a whole is still shytty and nothing changes on a large scale except for the problems of McDonald's employees because there's a bigger structural problem that needs to be fixed that extends wayyyy beyond what McDonald's pays their employees.

In the end by paying people to be assembly lines, our country loses as a whole. People need to develop actual skills/be able to translate their intelligence into something meaningful.

You're trying to put a bandaid on a bullet wound breh

Do you have proof that there are plenty of jobs and not enough skilled employees to work them?

With the way unemployment Is.... If what you're saying is truly the case these jobs would be hiring and training people on the job.

Every single unemployment stats says this is bullshyt

Im not looking down on anyone because I use to be that nikka on the fries back in high school. But from a business standpoint keeping labor as low as possible is one of the best ways to maximize profits. Which is the end goal of McDonalds.

2011 employer survey from the Manufacturing Institute found that the top skill deficiency among manufacturing workers was "inadequate problem-solving skills." No. 3 on the list was "inadequate basic employability skills (attendance timeliness, work ethic, etc

The Manpower survey also suggests another possibility. When firms were asked why they have difficulty hiring, 55% picked "lack of available applicants," but essentially the same percentage, 54%, said candidates are "looking for more pay than is offered" (many more than the 40% selecting lack of "hard" skill

That's not even close to true, most ppl that try to open franchises have to struggle for years to try to get financing for the fees to open these places. It's not like they just have 750k laying around and go but a franchise. The market depicts what the fair wage for the employee should be, as many people in here have already stated if your easily replaced in your job why should someone be forced to pay you an absurdly high wage

 

[Kalik]

It's a min. wage job, meant for starting out in the work force. 14-18 year old kids. (Depending on when you can work, Florida is 14)

Its for cellphones, haircuts, going to concerts... not supporting a family of 5

Haven't read the thread yet. I bet is a bunch of folk earning $16/hr with a Master's degree tearing down fast food employees for demanding a pay increase. Your anger is misdirected

15 dollars to throw my burger in the microwave and toss it out the drivethru window? Seriously?
