They’re in the rain, demanding to be priced out of employment.
*Chortle*
yeah, cause flippin burgers is really worth $15 an hour....the Gibmedats in action again....
Or maybe MacD's lowered those that were being paid $20/hr down to $15/hr to comply.

Oh, and notice the pricey banner they’re holding? Wonder where they got the money for that?
I would raise it to $15 and then immediately shut the business down. Nothing will ever be enough for them.
We go to McDonald’s less and less frequently. It has gotten so a meal for 2 is nearing $20. We can get much better food for that price at many other restaurants.
If they all have to make $15/hour, and the price of a meal goes up to $12-15 per person, no one will go there, and the employees will not have to worry about the hourly rates.
I see “Orange is the new Black.”
Does that say “close the racial gap”?
Used my first ordering kiosk last month...LOVED IT. Your jobs are like your ponchos...disposable. Who bussed you in? Took me YEARS to get my first $15 an hour job...and I had to earn it by doing more than flipping burgers. EARN it by offering more to your employer!

This is about union organizing. Unions exempt themselves from the minimum wage, then tell employers if they go union they can pay less.
Meanwhile more jobs at the bottom rung disappear.
like ignorant American youth protesting their 2nd amendment rights
I’ve been in a couple of McDonald’s recently that have those computer ordering systems.Don’t like them *at all*.In future I think I’ll go hungry rather than use one.
The minimum wage protestors lead me to question if they are being indoctrinated that minimum wage is in their DNA.
In fact, I would appreciate if any financial management-savvy FReepers could address why these protestors don’t simply buy McDonalds stock?
On second thought, $162.46 per stock (rough equivalent $15/hr for 10 hrs) is likely a roadblock for min. wage people.
Could employees possibly buy fractional stocks through McDonalds?
Insights welcome.
With the healthy Trump economy $15 an hour might what supply and demand dictates in some areas pretty soon.
The face of the unskilled.
When these sons of b!tches can get my order right 5 out of 5 times, I’ll march with them. Until then bring on the robots.
Supply and demand
If the work doesn't require a lot of skills then it will have a lot of supply and lower salaries -- but if it requires a higher skill or is a job no one wants, then the salaries are higher. Plumbing is one that requires skills and also is a job a lot of folks don't want, so the potential for earnings are huge
to flip a burger doesn't require much skill -- especially since the work is so well precedurized.
