Burt Gummer User ID: 7702124 United States 11/29/2012 10:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | good luck with that, each restaurant is basically a franchise not own by the corporation-self. owner of each place is required to buy product from the corporation in order to use their ''name'' brand... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12064276 As that franchise owner....if ANY of those union protesting freaks were from my store....I'd make sure they had no job when they walked back in. |

I guess no one told them that they need to JOIN the Union ($1000+), AND pay union dues, EVEN if part time, and then the union can refuse to help if the worker gets in a dispute with a boss, AND can force workers to make contributions to political candidates the worker might NOT WANT to support!! . |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 28256524 United States 11/29/2012 10:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recall a guy from the truckers' union on the radio complaining about the Mexican trucks on the roads. "The safety is bad! You're all gonna die!" When they opened up the phone lines, person after person called in and handed him his ass. It was funny. |

Labor is not the only expense. So the prices would not go up so much as you might think and the employees will be doing a bit better. Price increases that you do see in the fast food arena may also be a boon to locally owned small scale dining establishments. For a realistic look at how much labor costs impact a restaurants and other business check out these sources: [link to smallbusiness.chron.com] and [link to www.ehow.com] and the straightdope forums on specifics.
