    From the LA Times:Hundreds of fast food workers around the country are walking off their jobs Monday to raise support for $15-an-hour pay…Head honchos get $11.9 million a year on average, including options, while full-time employees earn $15,080, according to the group…A separate report in July from the National Employment Law Project, which backs low-wage workers, showed few fast food workers rising into the ranks of upper management.

    “Latest Obama Unemployment figures indicate somebody will want that job.”

    No one will want a job that pays less than it costs in transportation to and from work and day care. Try to live anywhere in New York city for the $7.25 an hour that my local paper states is the going rate there. If we are desperate enough to work that we are willing to lose money to do so, the robber barons truly have won.

    And when they pay in debit cards, the workers lose even more money in all the fees, while the franchise owners and the bigwigs “save” more.

    Would anyone care to compare the FUNCTIONAL literacy of “conservatives” vs. ‘liberals"? Those “job creators” upset about complexities like raising the minimum wage COUNT on being able to hire fewer people, even the under-educated who aren’t even able run the robots who took over the higher paying jobs in industry.

    At some point, those “job creators” need to understand those robots aren’t going to buy their products, and they need to provide more than “service industry” jobs, IN AMERICA!

    These Franchise owners are small businessmen, not millionaires as they have been portrayed. I would defy Lalo, or any of these people on strike to read a p&l from one of these place and make sense out of it.I feel bad that they make crappy pay, but the margin of these places simply isn’t there. Take what you learn at this job, and work to find a better one.
