[QUOTE="scratch, post: 1191613, member: 1674"] McDonalds and other fast food workers are demanding to make $15 an hour and staged some walkouts today. I think that my Local 728 has been supporting it too, our local staff usually shows up to support events like this. While I agree that minimum wage needs to increase some, $15 an hour is too high for an entry level job. Who would be willing to pay eight bucks for a Big Mac? Most of these restaurants are franchises with slim profit margins, there is no way they will survive doubling their payroll.
