[QUOTE="parttime_loader, post: 1193325, member: 45167"] 1) I don't shop at Wal-Mart. I shop at Costco, which is a company that pays its workers good wages without being unionized and I respect that. Not hating on anyone who does anything differently, just where I choose to spend my dollars. 2) A $15 min wage is too high. But so what? Minimum wage needs to be raised. Chances are if you want say, $10 an hour, and you go in asking for it you'll end up settling for less. So if you want $10, asking for $15 isn't the worst idea ever. 3) I was arguing about minimum wage with my father the other day who is completely against what the fast food workers are doing. Today he brought up that he hoped he would get his inflation bump on his social security this year. Thought that was ironic. 4) There is some truth in the statements that some of these fast food workers need to work to do better themselves. I saw one holding a sign that they had worked for a fast food chicken place for 7 years with no raise. How hard is it get a job at UPS? Not very. 7 years at UPS and they'd be making over twice what they are making now with paid vacation, health insurance, retirement, etc. Gotta see both sides of the argument. I hope minimum wage goes up. I hope unions make a come back. I hope some of the people in these dead end jobs will take more ownership of their own decisions. Plenty of blame to go around. [/QUOTE]
