Fast food corporations and maybe greedy restaurant owners are a little more nervous these days. It appears that finally fast food workers will strike more often and demand a living wage in this country. Unions could really start regaining their strength if the service workers in this country unite and demand fair wages. The reason they are paid so miserably over the years is because they were prevented from forming unions for so long from these food corporations. Restaurant owners have for long been allowed to pay two or three dollars an hour and forcing paying customers to subsidize their employees in form of tips. This policy needs to en and a fifteen minimum dollar an hour wage needs to be installed for all food related workers. Clearly the preparation of food and what you eat is as important as Auto manufacturers job or a plumber. These people can and do out work any pathetic sap on Wall Street but unlike them these workers cannot rig the system and make write in their own incomes like the banking and financial trading industry is allowed to thanks to out corrupt government. The lengths that corporations like McDonald's and Wal Mart have gone to squash the labor movement and opportunities for Americans to earn a better wage is treasonous and clearly a government that is not concerned for all its citizens is to blame for this. If companies cannot provide a decent wage to survive on then they should not be allowed to set up operations and exploit the desperate in our society. Less than ten percent of income generated by fast food conglomerates goes into wages for the millions working and providing a difficult service that even fucking allows these companies to operate. It is so pleasing to see these strikes all over America and lets hope they continue and help rebound the balance of power in this country.
