A strike?

This is the only news I can find.

~ ~ ~

From the remarks by Pope Francis a few weeks back to President Obama's speech Wednesday, it's clear that there's growing unease about the divide between the haves and the have-nots.

And the image problem for the fast-food industry is exemplified by this online petition urging McDonald's chief executive officer, Donald Thompson, to cancel his order for another corporate jet until he pays all his employees a decent wage.

According to the petition, McDonald's just bought a $35 million luxury Bombardier jet for its corporate executives. Yet many of the company's employees make so little that they rely on public assistance to get by.

After all, most of the hourly people do not make enough to be able to afford to strike.

That hasn't always stopped them. In the radical heyday, people used to starve to death rather than give in to employer demands. Work conditions were really crappy, and they didn't have the resources to leave.

NBC Nightly News had a feature about the fast food strike this week. (http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/52211051)

It looks like a faked story, because Jeff assures us
that they are all teens working for gas and date money.

Also, it's super easy for workers to unionize!

Heh, sort of the perfect icon for debating with Jeff and
such right-wingers.

AND it's ILLEGAL to object to unionisation, therefore nobody does and unions are everywhere, and companies that don't like unions PUT UP WITH IT WITHOUT OBJECTION, and any time that hasn't happened in the real world was an un-fact that doesn't happen ever and totally isn't worth acknowledging.

(^ This was from some young lady in the Phillippines, no idea who, from back around 2004-2005. It was hilarious when it was still being kept current.)

From the look of it, that was just her art project for the year and when it was done, she packed it in.
