Read more @: CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE EXPECTED IN FAST-FOOD PAY FIGHT
They deserve a wage increase. Hell everyone working minimum wage does. We have a problem in this country, and its vast inequality. All the people that seem to be against wage increases are those who are fortunate enough not to work in those jobs. Fast food workers are no longer just for teens starting their first job, there are parents, adults, grandparents, uncles. Many college grades work there too. I am willing to pay a little more extra to help these workers out. [/FONT][/COLOR]
The sheer number of profitable fast food places indicates that there's something wrong going on there. They are making hand over fist tons of profit, despite there being fast food places at every intersection.
They have plenty of profit to increase wages without increasing prices. But they'll increase prices, anyway. That stuff contributes big time to the health and obesity problems in our country, anyway. Seriously...I can't spit without hitting a fast food joint. There's something wrong there...for us, the consumers and workers. There's something very right with the fast food franchise owners, though.
