[quote:Kazz:MV8yMDY2NjI2XzM0Nzc3MjQ2XzE5MjlBMjRD] I would like to say that all union members are not blood sucking pigs like some of you make them. I'm in a union myself (Engineering) and working for a outsourced company in Detroit is very hard work. Some companies treat employees very shitty and a good union protects them. I've seen countless times a union save good people from mistreatment. I know it will be near impossible for these guys to get a union being part of numerous franchises...but some people are dealt a shitty hand..or maybe they are working towards something. I commend them for trying, tis their right after-all. [/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..."
