[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1191798, member: 42270"] Quite frankly, I'd rather see (most of) our labor laws completely overhauled to allow workers to unionize via card check and without fear of company reprisal while making the secondary boycott legal again -- ie. McDonald's locks out workers on 1st Avenue, so the truck drivers dropping off food (if they're unionized) can refuse to make their deliveries. But that isn't going to happen, so a $15/hr minimum wage doesn't sound so bad. Additionally, these 20-something year olds that are walking off the job and getting fired at Walmart, Taco Bell, McDonald's, etc. aren't going to vanish off the face of the earth. They'll likely enter various other industries and take the experience of fighting back with them. [/QUOTE]
