[QUOTE="klein, post: 1195161, member: 23950"] Labour costs at Mc D's is rougly 25% of all costs. It's not much. So, if you added a 50% wage increase (from $8 to $12 hr), it would cost Mc D's about 10% more in total costs. They could probably observe half that cost instead of earning extra billions in profits, and/or pass on a 5% increase to consumers. What's the big deal if a meal deal costs $5.99 or $6.29 , (30 cents or 5%) more for them to earn a nice $12 starting wage ? At $12/hr, they could get out of poverty living, buy more things, and get the economy going, again ! Nobody would be hurt over this ! [/QUOTE]
