Good on them! The common men and women deserve more. Their wages have stagnated while the 1%'s wages have massively increased. Some sort of action was long overdue, i hope they are successful. Not like these food fast companies can't sacrifice some of their profits to offer better wages for their workers.

your sheer ignorance on how an economy functions is staggering and appalling. 

Excuse me but fast food restaurants are among the most profitable business's out there. McDonalds are worth nearly $30 billion and yet there employees are usually on minimum wage and at the same time the people at the top are millionaires. Is it so wrong to question this? I am so ignorant to think ordinary people deserve a fairer wage? We could have slavery in today's economy and you would tell me the same thing. All i think is that some of the CEO's pay should be redistributed to ordinary workers in turn for an extra few dollars an hour, not like they can't afford it. No extra money printed that way either. For most people, they take whatever job is available and if happens to be McDonalds they take it. They can't be choosy no more, so should deserve more pay what with inflation above pay rise as it is. 

question what? mcdonalds successful business practices.

the quality of work and the skillset required most mcdonalds employees earn to much as it is. its an entry level job for crying out loud. 

raising the minumum wage will increase the cost of food, cause employees to be laid off, and punish the better employees and reward the lazy. So instead of the standout employee earning $10/hr, and the crapy sleeze-bag earning $5/hr. the stupid economic illiterate policy of the minumum wage causes both employees to get paid about $7.50/hr
