[quote:amywood71605:MV8yMDY2NjI2XzM0Nzc3MjM4X0IxRDAxOThD] [quote:Requiemdream:MV8yMDY2NjI2XzM0NzcyMTk3X0VFMThBMkZD] Guess the Commie pawns never got the memo that fast food jobs are typically layovers for high school, college, or between-job employees. McDonald's is NOT a career path! At least, not in the country I grew up in. [/quote] This is why things are so shitty - sadly, people have that mentality of "a job is better than nothing", and work 40 (or more) hours a week for shit wages, just to get by. I think EVERYONE should make a livable wage, period. Right now, even with college you'd be lucky to make that. [/quote]

"McDonald's, KFC, Burger King workers protest in NYC
"..."
"...several protests at different locations in the city, including Times Square and the Fulton Street Mall in Brooklyn. Workers from McDonald's, Burger King, and Yum Brand -run restaurants KFC and Taco Bell are expected to join.
Workers say they are asking for a pay raise to $15 an hour and the right to form a union. Currently, the median pay for the nearly 50,000 fast food workers in New York City is $9 an hour..."
