"The Democratic-majority board, whose members were appointed by President Barack Obama, ruled 3-2 along partisan lines, with the two Republicans dissenting. "
This happens regularly and we still have poor worker that supports republicans and their schemes as it isn't real. They are doing whatever they can to keep your self interests down.
A reporter asks Sanders... "Why does the middle-class vote against their best interest?". Bernie stars off with... "That is a good question" and continues on.
The reason why McD franchises was to stop organization. So they had mom/pop buy it and hire workers. Butt face it... McD reports quarterly to Wall Street on all restaurants. It is one big ass company, no reason for us to kid ourselves, we know what it is. But then the lobbying and loop-holing start to kick in, to keep the middle class down as cheaply as possible.
It's simple how things get to where they are corps hire and pay these people well, that is their job, it isn't a go home and fight for the good cause on my own time, because "we need it", that is why they win. They have people paid and measured by their success, these people don't feel they are doing anything wrong because that is their paid job. Versus US who would actually be that group of people that after their day job, would have to go home spend extra non-paid time to fight the cause. So that is how it happens, it's completely unfair simply due to job vs unpaid hobby. They are more organized only because it is a paid job for their people. And also that is why you need a gov't, those are the paid people to keep the play field balanced. It needs to be re-balanced again and those really rich people.... they know it deep down. I get it is hard to give up greenbacks.
I also feel there are very rich people that would be ok with it, some talk out from time to time in understanding and support. The reason why companies do what they do is because they have to keep up with other companies. Wall Street demands it, simply that, it isn't a choice by a lot of CEO's they are down right forced to compete not only in their sector but all publicly traded companies. So gov't has to reset rules, limit Wall Street/Shareholder power, that effects all companies, so they aren't pitted against one another on their race to the bottom, they can loosen up because all companies would be under the same rules.
